13 Relation between Vectorial Data and Environment 175 Colonies are sampled by 2500 municipal employees between July and October Data of 2009 are analysed in the thesis (HI, CI, BI) and reveal strong relation between environment and abundance of aedes larvae (HI = House Index, CI= Container Index) Sampled colonies Min of HI Max of HI HI moyen stdev Min CI Max CI CI mean stdev Industrial areas ,8 4 2,86 1,54 Old planified 29 2,6 8,89 3,88 2,07 1,3 9,09 3,23 2,01 Poor 33 2,5 14,81 5,12 3,44 1,6 8,4 4,23 2,00 Spontaneous 44 2,1 15,63 5,04 3,23 2,3 5,4 4,00 3,89 Historical Center 6 1,9 8,89 4,03 3,18 1,8 9,5 3,11 2,99 Planified recent 19 1,6 8,04 3,65 1,80 1,2 8,52 3,36 1,81 Rich 9 0,9 4,44 2,71 1,33 1,5 3,57 2,54 0,64 NDMC 1 2,90 3,14 Grand Total 175 0,90 15,6 4,21 3,73 1,30 9% 3,65 2,57 ECTQG2013, - Daudé É., Lefebvre B., Telle O., Maneerat S., Vaguet A., Vaguet Y., Cebeillac A., Misslin R.

14 Relation environment and dengue incidence Despite a strong relation with larvae index, geopgraphy of dengue case is not depend of environment of population. Case per KM² (of build up) are in 2008 located in Poor areas, while in 2009, cases are much more located in NDMC and rich areas of MCD.

16 Conclusion: Geography of dengue is complex, depending of environment, vector behavior, virus (ie. asymptomatic cases) as well as individuals behavior. Intra urban mobilities as well as the role of public spaces need to be understood in the diffusion of dengue Virus. Vectorial Data shows that Index are higher in public spaces such as hospitals, train station, ect. This suggest that contamination could occurs in those space rather than in domestic area. However, in the absence of effective vaccine, role of environment and gouvernance need to be understand, since environement is the only determinant on which we can act to prevent population from dengue. Some research are currently in progress in Delhi and Bangkok. ECTQG2013, - Daudé É., Lefebvre B., Telle O., Maneerat S., Vaguet A., Vaguet Y., Cebeillac A., Misslin R.

18 18 Each Individual-mosquito is a computer model of Aedes aegypti: - defined by stage and transitions (egg, larva, pupae, adult, virgin female, non-ovipositing, first gonotrophic, ovipositing, normal gonotrophic, dead), by behaviours related to stage (mating, feeding, ovipositing, hatching, biting, flying) and parameters - A population is a set of Individuals with the same behaviours (competences), differentiated according to their life stage and according to specific parameters category sub-category parameters values unity mating MATING_PROB 0,95 mating probabilities for a new emergent female MAX_ENERGY BLOOD_DETECT_DIST 4320minutes 3meters the value is based on the number of days that a mosquito can survive without feeding. It's 3 days AEDES'S ACTIVITIES BLOOD_GAIN_ENERGY_UL 1080minutes 1080 mn gain per 1 ul blood feeding. This value is based on the fact that Aedes take minimum 3 days from the last blood meal (4 ul max/meal) to finish gonotrophic cycle, so 1 ul blood is approximately equivalent to 1080 mn gain (4320mn/4ul). To confirm!!! In average, Aedes takes about 1mn for nectar feeding. If it can take blood meal for one minutes, it can earn 1080mn (1 ul), this value can also feeding NECTAR_GAIN_ENERGY 1080? minutes apply to nectar feeding? oviposition MIN_TEMP_FOR_OVIPOSITION 18 C MAX_STCKEGGS 120eggs 120 = max nb of eggs to lay per a gonotrophic cycle MIN_STCKEGGS 100eggs 100 = min nb of eggs to lay per a gonotrophic cycle MAX_SPEED_LAYEGG 0,05eggs 0.05 eggs/s = 3eggs/mn (cf: enquête auprès des entomologues) MIN_SPEED_LAYEGG 0,016eggs eggs/s = 1egg/mn egg hatching EGGS_HATCH_NO_FLOODING_PROB 0,197 EMBRYONATED_EGG_HATCH_PROB 0,596 MIN_TEMP_EGGHATCH 22 Biting MAX_QUANT_BLOOD 3mg MAX_TIME_BITING 15minutes a revérifier!!!!
