Along with other historically significant human infections, such as malaria and typhoid (Gubler et al., 2001; Okawa, 2003), dengue & yellow fever have been and continue to be a tremendous problem throughout much of the developing world (Aiken & Leigh, 1978; Frutaldo et al., 2000; Getis et al., 2003; Gubler et al., 2001; Harrington et al., 2005; Thonnon et al., 1998; Van Benthem et al., 2005). As earth’s climate changes due to global warming, the range of these two deadly diseases will most likely continue to expand. Their primary vector, Aedes aegypti, will most likely find a greater geographic range in most regions (Gubler et al., 2001; Julio et al., 2009; Kovats et al., 2001; Monath, 1994; Patz, 1998; Paupy et al., 2005; Shope, 1991; Van Benthem et al., 2005), although there will probably be some contraction in areas as well. In most climate change scenarios, increasing global temperatures and changes in patterns of precipitation will provide new, sustainable environments for populations of the vector (Easterling, 1997; Gubler et al., 2001; Hulme et al., 1998; Kovats et al., 2001; Patz, 1998; Shope, 1991; Van Benthem et al., 2005). Furthermore, climate models suggest that globally increasing temperatures are expected to make outbreaks of dengue virus more frequent and easier to sustain, especially in temperate regions (Patz, 1998). Such an increase in outbreak duration and geographic range is especially concerning given that dengue is already the most widespread vector borne virus. Taking action against these historically deadly infections requires efforts to substantially reduce or eliminate disease vectors throughout endemic regions. Such a task requires improved surveillance data and methodologies, along with a new commitment to cross-disciplinary study (Kovats et al., 2001; Moore, 2008). Furthermore, the increasing problem of insecticide resistance (da Costa-Ribeiro et al., 2007; Julio et al., 2009; Paupy et al., 2004) makes the need for these improved methods paramount.
