The urban climate can influence the development of several diseases in the urban environment, among them dengue fever. The existing literature shows a strong correlation of the Aedes aegypti mosquito with climate, and especially with air temperature and humidity. The present study reveals a correlation between the surface temperature in the city of Rio de Janeiro and the distribution of Dengue vector larvae to provide suggestions for urban planning and public health/epidemiology for the control of the disease. In order to demonstrate this spatial correlation, mean annual surface temperature data obtained from the MODIS sensor and the spatial distribution of Aedes aegypti larvae were used to derive an ROC curve. The epidemic year of 2008 was selected to test the spatial correlation and the results were 67%. The influence of temperature on the spatial distribution of vector larvae in the epidemic years in the context of this study endorses the use of the urban climate map as a tool to help develop strategies for planning for and mitigating the problem. The characteristics of the urban site were derived using matrix algebra, in a GIS environment, and allowed us to identify those portions of the municipal territory that are most susceptible to heat storage - crucial to the reproduction and performance of the dengue fever vector in the transmission of the disease. In the city of Rio de Janeiro, high potential for heating was shown in the central and northern zones, as well as in the area of westward expansion of the city, which are also poorer and densely-populated areas.

城市气候可以影响城市环境中几种疾病的发展，其中包括登革热。现有文献表明埃及伊蚊与气候，尤其是与空气温度和湿度之间有很强的相关性。本研究揭示了里约热内卢市的地表温度与登革热媒介幼虫的分布之间的相关性，为控制疾病的城市规划和公共卫生/流行病学提供了建议。为了证明这种空间相关性，从MODIS传感器获得的年平均表面温度数据和埃及伊蚊的空间分布幼虫用于得出ROC曲线。选择2008年流行年份来检验空间相关性，结果为67％。在本研究的背景下，温度对传染病流行时期幼虫空间分布的影响，赞同使用城市气候图作为工具来帮助制定规划和缓解问题的策略。在GIS环境中，使用矩阵代数推导了城市站点的特征，使我们能够识别出最容易蓄热的市政区域，这对于传播中的登革热媒介的繁殖和表现至关重要这种疾病。在里约热内卢市，中部和北部地区显示出很高的供暖潜力，
