MOSQUITO PERCEPTION INDEX

MPI is the number of mosquitoes perceived by an observer in his/her immediate proximity by merely glancing around. This is a subjective measure, and not specific for a particular species. 

Observation Time 1 min

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?
