Dengue and mosquito surveillance, Vitoria, Brazil

Weekly reports of cases of "dengue-like illness" and number of trapped mosquitoes for the neighborhoods of Vitoria, Brazil, along with weekly weather station data. These data are used to estimate latent time series of mosquito mortality rates in a Bayesian mechanistic framework, the output of which is also included. Code to implement this model is available at https://github.com/clint-leach/mosquito-recon and the methods further described in the manuscript:
