Environmental dataset for Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in Eldorado, Argentina, 2016–2018

Abstract

This dataset includes environmental, remote sensing, and entomological data used to assess dengue risk associated with Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in Eldorado (Misiones, Argentina) from 2016 to 2018. It comprises monthly larval abundance records collected across different urban environments (dwellings, cemeteries, tire repair shops, and a natural urban park), along with landscape coverage variables derived from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. Spectral indices such as NDVI, NDWI, and NDBI were calculated to characterize vegetation, water content, and urbanization. The dataset was used to develop generalized linear mixed models to evaluate the relationship between environmental factors and mosquito abundance. It provides a valuable resource for ecological modeling, vector surveillance, and studies on environmental drivers of dengue risk in subtropical urban settings.
