A Bayesian Hierarchical Model for Estimation of Abundance and Spatial Density of Aedes aegypti.

Strategies to minimize dengue transmission commonly rely on vector control, which aims to maintain Ae. aegypti density below a theoretical threshold. Mosquito abundance is traditionally estimated from mark-release-recapture (MRR) experiments, which lack proper analysis regarding accurate vector spat...
