“…In the mathematical models for dengue proposed so far, transmission intensity was often expressed as mosquito density [32, 33] or as basic reproductive number ( R 0 ) [9, 34, 35]. In the present study, R 0 represents transmission intensity, since R 0 is proportional to vector abundance [3, 36, 37].…”

“…The results are usually used to calculate surveillance indices such as the House Index (percentage of houses with larvae and/or pupae, also: Premise Index), the Container Index (percentage of water-containers with larvae and/or pupae) or the Breteau Index (number of positive containers per 100 houses) (Silver 2008). However, these indices do not provide for a significant assessment of the number of adults that are actually produced and the associated dengue transmission risk (Coelho et al 2008, Focks 2003, Méndez et al 2006, Reiter et al 1991, Scott and Morrison 2002.…”

“…In general, these traditional indices are poorly related to the risk of dengue transmission (Coelho et al 2008, Focks 2003, Méndez et al 2006, Reiter et al 1991, Scott and Morrison 2002. More advanced assessments of immature stages therefore focus only on pupae, as their abundance is more closely linked to adult population size (Focks 2003).…”
