MARQUETTI, María del Carmen; VALDES, Vivian; AGUILERA, Lucita y NAVARRO, Agustín. Vigilancia entomológica de Aedes (S) aegypti y otros culícidos en Ciudad de La Habana, Cuba 1991-1996. Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 2000, vol.52, n.2, pp. 133-137. ISSN 1561-3054.
The results of the entomologic surveillance carried out from 1991 to 1996 in Boyeros municipality, City of Havana within the Program for Eradication of Aedes aegypti were analyzed. Data on mosquitoes fauna collected in the municipality by various sampling methods, larval survey, human bait, capture at rest and larval traps. Culex quinquefasciatus, Aedes mediovittatus and Aedes aegypti species were the most found by the different methods. It was proved that water tanks, man-made deposits, other kinds of tanks and low tanks were the most exploited resources by mosquitoes for their breeding in this municipality whereas larval surveys were the most sensitive method for detecting species since it contributed a greater variety of species. Reference is made to the search for a mechanism that help estimate adult populations from larval indices provided by surveys and the method of capture at rest is stressed as the most sensitive method for adult mosquitoes, particularly for dengue vector within the surveillance system aimed at this species.
