Abstract
Aedes aegypti is the main vector of dengue and Zika virus. Along with vaccine research, vector control is a major lever for fighting these diseases. Studying dynamical and non-linear relationships between the environment and vectors provides guidance for monitoring and control strategies. MODE's objective is to identify environmental dynamics that contribute to the spatiotemporal distribution of Aedes aegypti in urban areas. This paper presents (1) the resource-based habitat concept and its application to Aedes aegypti , (2) the generic methods for estimating the environmental factor of this habitat and (3) the factors dynamics. These concepts and methods are illustrated in (4) with an application on Bangkok, Thailand and (5) with the mapping of an environmental suitability index.
