Application of mosquito sampling count and geospatial methods to improve dengue vector surveillance
Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a major public health problem in several countries around the world. Dengue vector surveillance is an important methodology to determine when and where to take the control action. We used a combination of the Global Positioning System (GPS)/Geographic Information System (...

Dengue hemorrhagic fever is a major public health problem in several countries around the world. Dengue vector surveillance is an important methodology to determine when and where to take the control action.

Both complete count and sampling count methods were used simultaneously to collect immature dengue vectors in all houses and all containers in one village in eastern Thailand to determine the efficiency of the sampling count technique.
