Student Research Reports

The project began in 2023 with the objective of understanding the relationship between climatic variables and the proliferation of the Aedes aegypti mosquito, establishing an initial consistent base of data, methods and analysis criteria. At this first stage, collection and monitoring protocols were defined, enabling the construction of a reference scenario for subsequent years. In 2024, the research continued in a significantly more challenging environmental context, marked by a prolonged period of drought, low humidity and reduced rainfall, which required methodological and operational adaptations throughout the process. These adverse conditions highlighted limitations but also provided relevant learning about the influence of climate on vector dynamics and the efficiency of monitoring strategies. Throughout this period, practical experiences were accumulated, including necessary adjustments and adjustments, which contributed to the scientific maturity of the project. In 2025, this entire route was incorporated strategically, allowing the refinement of procedures, the improvement of the standardization of collections and a more consistent integration between climatic and entomological data. The systematic use of previous experiences resulted in a more solid, organized and assertive project, strengthening the reliability of the results and expanding its potential to contribute to Aedes aegypti prevention and control actions in the context of the school community.
