1. Introduction
The mosquito Aedes aegypti is the most important disease vector
in urban environments, due to its great adaptability to such conditions
(Regis et al., 2008) and its efficient vectorial capacity for some
arboviruses, as dengue (DENV) (Anderson and Rico-Hesse, 2006).
Due to the lack of vaccines for most arthropod-borne diseases,
including dengue, vector control is the main strategy to prevent
or contain disease outbreaks.
