The introduction of dengue follows transportation infrastructure changes in the...
Lana, Raquel Martins; Gomes, Marcelo Ferreira da Costa; Lima, Tiago França Melo de; Rocha, Nildimar Honorio; Codeço, Cláudia TorresHuman mobility, presence and passive transportation of Aedes aegypti mosquito, and environmental characteristics are a group of factors which contribute to the success of dengue spread and establishment. To understand this process, we assess data from dengue national and municipal basins regarding population and demographics, transportation network, human mobility, and Ae. aegypti monitoring for the Brazilian s...
Socioeconomic and demographic characterization of an endemic malaria region in ...
Lana, Raquel Martins; Riback, Thais Irene Souza; Lima, Tiago França Melo de; Nunes, Mônica da Silva; Cruz, Oswaldo Gonçalves; Oliveira, Francisco G. S.Background : In the process of geographical retraction of malaria, some important endemicity pockets remain. Here, we report results from a study developed to obtain detailed community data from an important malaria hotspot in Latin America (Alto Juruá, Acre, Brazil), to investigate the association of malaria with socioeconomic, demographic and living conditions. Methods : A household survey was conducted in 40...
Multiscale analysis and modelling of Aedes aegypti population spatial dynamics.
Lana, Raquel Martins; Carneiro, Tiago Garcia de Senna; Rocha, Nildimar Honorio; Codeço, Cláudia TorresPopulation dynamic models requires the evaluation of the best scale of analysis. This work analyses three spatial scales in the context of the mosquito Aedes aegypti, main vector of dengue fever. One scale is the neighborhood, the others scales are the census tract and the lot. A geographical database was developed including point maps with trap locations, number of eggs collected per trap per week, polygons of...
Seasonal and nonseasonal dynamics of Aedes aegypti in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil : ...
Lana, Raquel Martins; Carneiro, Tiago Garcia de Senna; Rocha, Nildimar Honorio; Codeço, Cláudia TorresMathematical models suggest that seasonal transmission and temporary cross-immunity betweenserotypes can determine the characteristic multi-year dynamics of dengue fever. Seasonal transmis-sion is attributed to the effect of climate on mosquito abundance and within host virus dynamics. In thisstudy, we validate a set of temperature and density dependent entomological models that are built-incomponents of most d...
