Microevolution of Aedes aegypti
PLOS ONE, 2015 Scientific research into the epidemiology of dengue frequently focuses on the microevolution and dispersion of the mosquito Aedes aegypti. One of the world's largest urban agglomerations infested by Ae. aegypti is the Brazilian megalopolis of Sao Paulo, where >26,900 cases of dengue were reported until June 2015.

Bio-physicochemical Markers of the Aedes Aegypti Breeding Water in Endemic and Non-endemic Area [PDF]
, 2019 The survival of Aedes aegypti larvae is inseparable from the adequacy of food, including organic substances available in the breeding water. It is very dependent on the level of water markers such as temperature, salinity, Dissolved Oxygen, and pH.
