Use of mapping and spatial and space-time modeling approaches in operational control of Aedes aegypti and dengue.
The aims of this review paper are to 1) provide an overview of how mapping and spatial and space-time modeling approaches have been used to date to visualize and analyze mosquito vector and epidemiologic data for dengue; and 2) discuss the potential for these approaches to be included as routine act...
