We found a strong and significant association between the temporal pattern of mosquito abundance and El Niño phases and local weather, showing the fundamental role that climate plays in driving infestation periodicity. Specifically, we identified a relationship between Ae. aegypti infestation and the strength of the ENSO phenomenon active in that period.

Our results showed that seasonal rainfall exceeding 153.12 mm appears to have a notable impact on vector indices, potentially leading to the accumulation of ample water in outdoor discarded receptacles, supporting the aquatic phase of mosquito development.
