We applied the model to several dengue epidemics in different climatic regions of Brazil: Brasilia, Belem, Fortaleza, Boa Vista. The new method leads to higher estimates of the reproductive number than previous models. At present, Aedes aegypti densities, the meeting of more compatible strains of viruses and mosquitoes, may lead to re-emergence of urban yellow fever epidemics. specialized vector borne diseases reproductive number dengue yellow fever Brazil 052 11 3 332-340 2006 1360-2276 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010035577 10.1111/j.1365-3156.2006.01560.x 1360-2276 [F B010035577] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010035577 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/2025-01/010035577.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2006-05-05 2025-01-03 fdi:010035577 fre
