  abstract = {{T}he importance of spatial heterogeneity and spatial scales (at a village or neighbourhood scale) has been explored with individual-based models. {O}ur reasoning is based on the {C}hilean {E}aster {I}sland ({EI}) case, where a first dengue epidemic occurred in 2002 among the relatively small population localized in one village. {E}ven in this simple situation, the real epidemic is not consistent with homogeneous models. {C}onversely, including contact heterogeneity on different scales (intra-households, inter-house, inter-areas) allows the recovery of not only the {E}l epidemiological curve but also the qualitative patterns of {B}razilian urban dengue epidemic in more complex situations.},
