Predicting Aedes Aegypti Growth Risk
Source: Dirección General de Estadística, Encuestas y Censos (DGEEC), Paraguay — 2022 Census.
Processing: Cleaned and normalized census data. Matched to official district polygons, ensuring alignment with national boundaries. Calculated density per km².
Source: NASA GPM IMERG Final Run (Global Precipitation Measurement, 0.1° x 0.1° daily, DOI: 10.5067/GPM/IMERGDF/DAY/XX).
Processing: Downloaded daily gridded data via NASA Earthdata. Reprojected, clipped to Paraguay, and averaged into district polygons. Daily totals normalized for algorithm input.
Source: NASA MERRA-2 Reanalysis (Modern-Era Retrospective analysis, Surface Air Temperature, 0.5° x 0.625°).
Processing: Extracted daily near-surface (2m) averages. Resampled to district level via polygon averaging. Smoothed anomalies to reduce noise.

Processing: Daily rasters intersected with district polygons. Weighted averages per district computed. Values represent volumetric soil water fraction — proxy for mosquito larval habitat.
Source: Paraguayan Ministry of Health weekly epidemiological bulletins.
Processing: Reports available at department level only. To estimate district cases, totals were distributed using each district’s population share. This produced continuous, district-level weekly time series aligned with national trends.
