There are factors related to the location that determine housing infestation by <jats:italic>Aedes<\/jats:italic>. This study aimed to determine factors associated with housing infestation by immature forms of <jats:italic>Aedes<\/jats:italic> spp. in the dengue endemic localities of Axochiapan and Tepalcingo, Mexico, from 2014 to 2016. A cohort study was carried out. Surveys and inspections of front- and backyards were conducted every 6 months, looking for immature forms of <jats:italic>Aedes<\/jats:italic> spp. A house condition scoring scale was developed using three variables (house maintenance, tidiness of the front- and backyards, and shading of the front- and backyards). Multiple and multilevel regression logistic analysis were conducted considering the housing infestation as the outcome and the household characteristics observed 6 months before the outcome as factors; this was adjusted by time (seasonal and cyclical variations of the vector). The infestation oscillated between 5.8% of the houses in the second semester of 2015 and 29.3% in the second semester of 2016. The factors directly associated with housing infestation by <jats:italic>Aedes<\/jats:italic> were the house condition score (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 1.64; 95% CI: 1.40\u20131.91) and the previous record of housing infestation (aOR: 2.99; 95% CI: 2.00\u20134.48). Moreover, the breeding-site elimination done by house residents reduced the housing infestation odds by 81% (95% CI: 25\u201395%). These factors were independent of the seasonal and cyclical variations of the vector. In conclusion, our findings could help to focalize antivectorial interventions in dengue-endemic regions with similar demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.22-0707","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,24]],"date-time":"2023-04-24T18:09:11Z","timestamp":1682359751000},"page":"1264-1271","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["House
