Seasonal evolution of monthly entomological surveillance indices and meteorological data in Noumea (August 2000–July 2009).
HI, BI and API evolution display a strong seasonal cycle, with highest values between January and July. Entomological surveillance indices were significantly correlated with meteorological data at the seasonal scale. The peak of mean Temp preceded the peak of Precip, mean RH and API with a lag of one month, and the peak of HI and BI with a lag of two months.
