Entomological_Surveillance_Dataset_Suazo_etal_2025

This dataset contains entomological surveillance data on Aedes aegypti abundance collected from rural and urban communities in District III of Managua, Nicaragua, between 2022 and 2023. The study evaluates mosquito distribution across different seasons and environmental settings, focusing on vector density, entomological indices, and productive breeding containers. These data contribute to understanding Aedes aegypti population dynamics in both urban and rural environments, challenging conventional views of urban dominance and informing targeted vector control interventions.

Data Collection

• Study Area: District III, Managua, Nicaragua

• Time Frame: February 2022 - November 2023

• Sampling Design:

• 500 randomly selected households (250 urban, 250 rural)

• Surveillance conducted during rainy (Oct-Nov) and dry (Feb-Mar) seasons

• Entomological Surveys:

• Immature mosquitoes: Collected from water-holding containers (barrels, buckets, tires, cement laundry sinks, etc.)

• Adult mosquitoes: Sampled using aspirators in indoor and outdoor settings

• Entomological Indices: Stegomyia, pupal, and adult indices calculated

本数据集包含2022年至2023年间，于尼加拉瓜马那瓜第三区城乡社区采集的埃及伊蚊（Aedes aegypti）种群密度昆虫学监测数据。本研究评估了不同季节与环境背景下的蚊虫分布情况，重点关注媒介密度、昆虫学指数以及具有繁殖能力的孳生容器。相关数据有助于解析城乡环境中埃及伊蚊的种群动态，挑战了关于城市环境为埃及伊蚊主要孳生地的传统认知，并可为针对性的媒介控制干预措施提供科学依据。

数据采集
• 研究区域：尼加拉瓜马那瓜第三区
• 时间范围：2022年2月—2023年11月
• 采样设计：
• 随机选取500户家庭（城市、农村各250户）
• 监测在雨季（10月—11月）与旱季（2月—3月）开展
• 昆虫学调查：
• 幼虫蚊虫：从积水容器（桶、水桶、轮胎、水泥洗衣池等）中采集
• 成蚊：在室内外环境中使用吸蚊器采样
• 昆虫学指数：计算斯氏指数（Stegomyia Index）、蛹指数及成蚊指数
