Abstract
Dengue fevers have been reported to increase worldwide in frequency in the past few years. Climate change and global warming are likely to worsen the situation leading to a possibility that dengue and other mosquito borne diseases are on the rise posing serious public health hazards. In this paper we enhance an existing in-house simulation model DEER to incorporate biologically realistic parameterization of various processes relevant to mosquito ecology to improve the performance of DEER. We include the effects of temperature hydrology and habitat characteristics into the model framework. The spatial-temporal distributions of Aedes Aegypti subject to temperature and environment conditions are simulated to provide insights for control purposes.
