“…Disregarding container productivity means that, in each container, the number of mosquitoes will reach adulthood will be 100% of the eggs laid in it. The results obtained with our current version of the model have been validated with the previous model and with the data obtained from a field work carried out in an area of 400 Km2 in São Sebastião, Brazil [25], 220 km away from the state capital. For the information gathering stage, containers were inspected during the months corresponding to the non-mature stages of the vector for the proliferation seasons in 2002-2004.…”

The increase in temperature caused by the climate change has resulted in the rapid dissemination of infectious diseases. Given the alert for the current situation, the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a state of health emergency, highlighting the severity of the situation in some countries. For this reason, coming up with knowledge and tools that can help control and eradicate the vectors propagating these diseases is of the utmost importance. High-performance modeling and simulation can be used to produce knowledge and strategies that allow predicting infections, guiding actions and/or training health/civil protection agents. The model developed as part of this research work is aimed at assisting the decision-making process for disease prevention and control, as well as evaluating the reproduction and predicting the evolution of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which is the transmitting vector of the dengue, Zika and chikungunya diseases. Since a large number of simulation runs are required to achieve results with statistical variability, GPU has been used. This platform has enough computational power to reduce execution time while maintaining a lower energy consumption. Different scenarios and experiments are proposed to corroborate the benefits of the architecture proposed.

“…Also consist with the outcomes of our study, Banerjee et al [ 41 ] in a study of pupal productivity in Kolkata (India), observed that plastic containers were the most productive habitats and tires were least productive sites for Aedes mosquitoes. Arduino [ 42 ] in the context of coastal urban Brazil, distinguished between movable and fixed containers, and concluded that only three container categories made greater contribution to risk of dengue transmission: metallic and plastic items among the roving containers, and boats/ships among the fixed containers. The potential influence of mobile vs. fixed containers deserves further research attention in various social and ecological contexts.…”

Dengue viruses are responsible for over 100 million infections a year worldwide and are a public health concern in Bangladesh. Although risk of transmission is high, data on vector population characteristics are scanty in Bangladesh; therefore, a comprehensive prediction of the patterns of local virus transmission is not possible. Recognizing these gaps, multi-year entomological surveys were carried out in Dhaka, where the disease is most frequently reported. The specific objectives of the present study are threefold: i) to determine the risk factors for the presence of Aedes mosquitoes; ii) to identify the types of most productive and key containers; and iii) to estimate the effects of climatic factors on Aedes abundance in the city of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Entomological surveys were conducted in 12 out of 90 wards in Dhaka. These wards were selected using a probability proportional sampling procedure during the monsoon seasons in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and in the dry season in 2012. All containers inside and around sampled households were inspected for mosquito larvae and pupae, and containers were classified according to their relative size, use pattern, and materials of construction. During the study period (2011–2013), 12,680 larvae and pupae were collected. About 82% of the identified immature mosquitoes were Aedes aegypti, while the remainder were Ae. albopictus and other mosquito species. The largest number of immature mosquitoes was collected from tires and refrigerator trays during 2011 and 2012 monsoon seasons. Conversely, plastic drums were the most productive during the 2012 dry and 2013 monsoon season. Vehicle parts and discarded construction materials were the most efficient producers of Aedes mosquitoes in all surveys. The presence of Aedes mosquitoes was significantly (p < 0.05) higher in low socio-economic zones of Dhaka. Container location, presence of vegetation, and availability of shade for containers were also significantly associated with finding immature Aedes mosquitoes, based on multivariable analysis after confounder adjustment. Rainfall, temperature, and relative humidity also significantly affected the mean abundance of mosquitoes. Proper use, disposal, and recycling of the containers that effectively produce large numbers of Aedes vector mosquitoes may decrease the risk of arboviral transmission.

“…Pengamatan terhadap keberadaan pupa di rumah tangga dapat menjadi langkah preventif mencegah terjadinya penularan DBD dimana akan diketahui habitat atau kontainer produktif. 20,21 Secara umum intervensi yang diberikan dalam penelitian ini telah memberikan dampak terhadap penurunan kepadatan jentik walaupun belum pada taraf yang diharapkan. Namun demikian promosi kesehatan melalui kelompok masyarakat (pengajian) diduga memicu kesadaran masyarakat untuk merubah perilaku menjadi lebih sehat.…”

Prabumulih city is one of dengue endemic area in South Sumatera Province with number of cases in 2011-2012 were 225 and 301 cases respectively. The research aims to determine the influence of jumantik accompanied by health promotion program to the larval mosquitoes indices. This is quasi-experimental study, carried out in three endemic areas of Prabumulih City in 2014. There were two intervention in two location and one location for non-intervention. In the first location, the intervention were larva surveillance by jumantik cadre, giving larvicide selectively, accompanied by health promotion program to community group (intervention I), in second location the intervention only for larvae surveillance by jumantik cadre (intervention II), and the third location giving no intervention. Observation of immature mosquito was carried out in every location before and after intervention was given. The result showed an increase in Free larvae index of 19,8% in the intervention I , 12,5% in the intervention II and 5,3% in the no-intervention location. Indicator of breteau index showed a decrease in all location, 73,1% in the intervention I, 62,8% in the intervention II and 10,8% in the no-intervention location. Container index indicator showed a decrease in two intervention location, 10,2% in the intervention I, 6,6% in the intervention II, while in no-intervention location show an increase for 8%. Health promotion program about how to prevent dengue transmission through potential community groups could become an alternative effort to control vector population integrated with other control methods.
