Interpretation: The MPI notes the number of perceived mosquitoes in the immediate vicinity of the observer at a specific point in time.
MPI is not specific for any particular species of mosquito.
Research questions include:
Can MPI serve as an indicator of Aedes related risk or Aedes abundance?
Does MPI have an impact or risk literacy or personal behavior of the observer?
Is there a correlation and/or causal relationship between MPI and egg count?
