Thinking over the Aedes species, DU surveys, and on, we could create
a parent module that deals with vectors of diseases, and that the
health_ntd_xxx (eg, chagas, dengue), would use them.

In the dengue case, we keep the current functionality
of health_ntd_dengue lab tests, guidelines, etc.. . It will have a
dependency on health_vector_aedes, which will hold the aedes species
known to transmit diseases, and other generic info valid to that genus.
We would move the current DU survey functionality to the
health_vector_aedes module.

Let me know your thoughts.

Have a great day !
