Objective: to present a methodological sequence resulting from multicriteria analysis indicating areas with different Aedes aegypti intervention priorities. Methods: a Female Aedes Displacement Index (IDFAedes) was created, consolidated according to urban blocks, representing interaction between population densities, Aedes aegypti oviposition sites and dengue case notifications; a graphical model (Model Builder) was developed with QGIS software using the Kernel mapping algorithm and IDFAedes as the weighting factor. Results: stratification for the evaluated example-Anápolis, GO, Brazil-indicated intervention priority levels for urban blocks-17.5%, very low priority; 37.3%, low; 33.6%, medium; 10.2%, high; 1.4%, very high-; blocks with medium, high, and very high priority accounted for 22.53,% of the territory in the area. Conclusion: the spatial block method proposed in this article can be included in health surveillance programs for intensified targeting and planning of control actions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
