MARQUETTI, María del Carmen et al. Incidencia de culícidos en una zona urbana de Ciudad de La Habana durante 1995. Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 1998, vol.50, n.2, pp.138-142. ISSN 0375-0760.

In the present paper it is made an analysis of the incidence of culicides in the municipality of Marianao, Havana City, during 1995, after following the requirements of the National Program for the Erradication of Aedes aegypti. 6 species of mosquitoes were found in the municipality, with a predominance of the Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes mediovittatys species. 4 focuses of Aedes aegypti were detected during this period. It was found that the groups of deposits preferred by the culicides for their breeding in this municipality were other deposits, low tanks, artificial deposits and larva traps. The People´s Councils 4 and 5 (Libertad and Pogolotti) had the highest number of focuses (967 and 1 240, respectively, and therefore, they need more attention. It is analyzed the influence of the deficiences of the public services, such as the collection of solid, wastes (garbage) and the existance of leakages and sewing overflows, on the proliferation of mosquitoes in the municipality.
