Estimates of abundance for the populations of female Aedes aegypti in Z—10, Rio de Janeiro, in Sept 2012 (ST1) and March 2013 (ST2), according to the hierarchical model and the Fisher-Ford model.

Estimation realized using samples from 16000 iterations using data from both studies. The hierarchical model results are obtained using JAGS after running 10000 iterations per chain (first 2000 were discarded) in two Markov chain simulations. Fisher—Ford estimates are obtained using a bootstrap approach (re-sampling Rs = 1000). For the Fisher—Ford estimation the survival rate is assumed to be ϕ = 0.8.
