Temporal Changes in Aedes Mosquito Abundance in High-Elevation Communities in Mexico

DESCRIPTION

This research investigates the temporal changes in the abundance of Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti and Aedes (Ochlerotatus) epactius in high-elevation communities in Mexico. The study confirms the presence of Ae. aegypti in Maltrata and Puebla City and provides the first description of high-elevation seasonal abundance patterns for this species. The findings aim to support WHATCH’EM, a project focused on developing an image-based algorithm for mosquito habitat detection. The results are crucial for understanding mosquito populations in varying elevations and their implications for disease transmission.
