  abstract = {{OBJECTIVE} {T}o determine the influence of climate and of environmental vector control with or without insecticide on {A}edes aegypti larval indices and pupae density. {METHODS} {A}n 18-month longitudinal survey of infestation of {A}e. aegypti immature stages was conducted for the 1015 residences (premises) of {V}ila {P}lanalto, an area of {B}rasilia where the {B}reteau {I}ndex was about 40 before the study. {T}his area was divided into five zones: a control zone with environmental management alone and four zones with insecticide treatment (methoprene, {B}ti, temephos). {W}e tested for significant differences between infestation levels in the control and insecticide-treated areas, for relationships between climatic variables and larval indices, and to determine risk factors of infestation for certain types of premises and containers. {RESULTS} {E}nvironmental vector control strategies dramatically decreased infestation in the five areas. {N}o significant differences could be detected between control strategies with insecticide and without. {S}ome premises and container types were particularly suitable for breeding. {T}he influence of climate on the emergence of {A}e. aegypti adults for the area is described. {CONCLUSION} {I}n a moderately infested area such as {B}rasilia, insecticides do not improve environmental vector control. {R}ather, infestations could be further reduced by focusing on residences and containers particularly at risk. {T}he nature of the link between climate and larval population should be investigated in larger-scale studies before being used in forecasting models.},
