A relação entre temperatura e a infestação pelo mosquito Aedes Aegypti, o caso de Montes Claros-MG

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examinate the correspondence of Aedes aegyptiinfestation, through of Breteau Index, by neighborhoods, in the period among the years 2015 and 2017 with land surfacetemperature (LST) of the city Montes Claros-MG. Some investigations shows the hydroclimatic issues as the one most corroborate to larval infestation of the proposed insect. The methodology consisted in the acquisition and organization of the data related to the Breteau Index of mentioned mosquito; the generation of the image with the estimated surface temperature of the city; and examining with the application of multiple linear regression, the association of such variables. With the results is verified that the model employed (p <0.01 and R² = 0.83) is significant, and the most explanatory variables for the Breteau Index of 2017 are -the Breteau Index of 2016 (p <0, 01) and the standard-deviation (p < 0.03) of the temperatures. Arrival the conclusion thatthe larval infestation of Aedes aegyptihas relationship with areas where exist the highest heat peaks.
