The global expansion and proliferation of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus represents a growing public health threat due to their capacity to transmit a variety of arboviruses to humans, including dengue, chikungunya, and Zika. Particularly important in urban regions, where these species have evolved to breed in man-made containers and feed nearly exclusively on human hosts, the threat of vector-borne disease has risen in recent decades due to the growth of cities, progression of climate change, and increase in globalization. While the dynamics of Aedes populations in urban settings have been well studied in relation to ecological features of the landscape, relatively less is known about the relationship between neighborhood socioeconomic status and Aedes infestation. Here, we compare infestation levels of both A. aegypti and A. albopictus in four socioeconomically contrasting neighborhoods of urban Panama City, Panama. Our results indicate that infestation levels for both Aedes species vary between neighborhoods of contrasting socioeconomic status, being higher in neighborhoods having lower percentage of residents with bachelor degrees and lower monthly household income. Additionally, we find that proximity between socioeconomically contrasting neighborhoods can predict infestation levels by species, with A. aegypti increasing and A. albopictus decreasing with proximity between neighborhoods. These findings hold key implications for the control and prevention of dengue, chikungunya, and Zika in Panama, a region with ongoing arbovirus outbreaks and high economic inequity.

巴拿马城社会经济差异较大的地区的伊蚊（Aedes Mosquito）感染。

埃及伊蚊和白纹伊蚊的全球扩张和扩散代表着日益严重的公共卫生威胁，因为它们具有将多种虫媒病毒传播给人类的能力，包括登革热，基孔肯雅热和寨卡病毒。在城市地区，这些物种已经进化成可以在人造容器中繁殖并几乎完全以人类宿主为食的城市地区尤为重要，由于城市的发展，气候变化的发展，和全球化的发展。尽管已经很好地研究了城市环境中伊蚊的种群动态与景观的生态特征之间的关系，但是人们对邻里社会经济地位与生态系统之间的关系所知甚少。伊蚊的侵扰。在这里，我们比较了巴拿马城市巴拿马城四个社会经济差异较大的社区中埃及伊蚊和白纹伊蚊的侵染水平。我们的结果表明，两种伊蚊的侵染水平在社会经济地位相对不同的邻域之间有所不同，在拥有较低学历的居民比例和较低的家庭月收入中，该种群的侵扰水平更高。此外，我们发现，社会经济差异较大的社区之间的接近程度可以按物种预测侵染程度，埃及伊蚊增加，白纹伊蚊随着邻里之间的接近度而降低。这些发现对控制和预防巴拿马的登革热，基孔肯雅热和寨卡病毒具有重要意义。巴拿马是一个虫媒病毒不断爆发，经济不平等程度很高的地区。
