Abstract
Summary: Ae. aegypti densities calculated from repeat entomological monitoring were associated with DENV seroconversion, whereas estimates of Ae. aegypti abundance measured cross-sectionally were not. It is possible that Ae. aegypti populations exhibit too much variability across space and time for periodic, cross-sectional measurement to adequately characterize entomological risk, in addition to having no correlation with true infection events due to human movement in space and time.
