Aedes aegypti is mainly found in urban environments, where human activity guarantees the permanent availability of potential larval habitats. The present study aimed to test for a possible association between Ae. aegypti infestation and land cover classes. From 23 February to 22 May 2015, immature mosquitoes (except eggs) were sampled in artificial containers identified in dwellings in Córdoba city, Argentina. The proportion of each land cover class was determined by SPOT-5 (Satellites Pour 1'Observation de la Terre or Earth-observing Satellites) image classification. Generalized linear models were developed to assess a suite of predetermined hypotheses and identified cover class variables associated with Ae. aegypti infestation. Arboreal vegetation was identified as the land cover with the greatest relative importance, negatively associated with Ae. aegypti mosquitoes. More infestation was find in areas with less arboreal vegetation, which corresponds to more urbanized areas.

土地覆盖会影响埃及伊蚊的种群吗？

埃及伊蚊主要存在于城市环境中，那里的人类活动保证了潜在幼虫栖息地的永久可用性。本研究旨在测试Ae之间的可能关联。埃及侵扰和土地覆盖类。从2015年2月23日至5月22日，在阿根廷科尔多瓦市住宅中识别出的人工容器中对未成熟的蚊子（卵除外）进行了采样。每种土地覆盖类别的比例均由SPOT-5（卫星“倾泻”或“对地观测卫星”）图像分类确定。开发了广义线性模型，以评估一系列预定假设并确定与Ae相关的掩盖类别变量。埃及感染。树栖植被被确定为相对重要性最高的土地覆盖，与Ae负相关。埃及蚊子。在树木较少的地区发现了更多的虫害，这对应于更多的城市化地区。
