Our reasoning is based on the Chilean Easter Island (EI) case, where a first dengue epidemic occurred in 2002 among the relatively small population localized in one village. Even in this simple situation, the real epidemic is not consistent with homogeneous models. Conversely, including contact heterogeneity on different scales (intra-households, inter-house, inter-areas) allows the recovery of not only the El epidemiological curve but also the qualitative patterns of Brazilian urban dengue epidemic in more complex situations. specialized dengue urban epidemics heterogeneous models Easter Island Brazil 052 272 1568 1171-1177 2005 0962-8452 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010041528 10.1098/rspb.2004.3020 0962-8452 [F B010041528] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010041528 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/2024-12/010041528.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2006-03-29 2024-12-18 fdi:010041528 fre
