Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2016, vol.25, n.4, pp.735-744. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/S1679-49742016000400007.
OBJECTIVE:
to describe seasonal mosquito distribution and the incidence of dengue cases in Barreiras, Bahia, Brazil.
METHODS:

RESULTS:
16,512 mosquito specimens were collected, 62.0% were Culex quinquefasciatus (most frequent in the dry season) and 38.0% were Aedes aegypti (most frequent in the rainy season); 8,373 dengue cases were recorded, with highest incidence per 100,000 inhabitants in 2009 (n=704.5), 2011 (n=429.3) and 2013 (n=247.2), between January and June.
CONCLUSION:
