The use of the Premise Condition Index (PCI) to provide guidelines for Aedes aegypti surveys
Journal of Vector Ecology 38 (1), 190-192
Abstract: With the Premise Condition Index (PCI) the conditions of a house or yard is scored with respect to its suitability for Aedes aegypti breeding. The PCI index was tested in Queensland, Australia and showed that more Ae. aegypti eggs were collected in the ovitraps that were installed in houses with a higher PCI score. Thus the index can offer a rapid assessment method for selecting containers/houses for further surveys.
