Distribution and density of Aedes albopictus populations in urban areas are promoted by local scale environmental variables such as vegetation covering, land use, premises condition, catch basins number and quality, etc.
Study of possible correlations between ovitrap monitoring data and environmental data at local scale can provide useful information to improve species distribution-abundance landscape-based models. This modelling approach is more precise than the classic geostatistics in describing mosquitoes abundance in particular when datasets are less autocorrelated and not stationary.
