Abstract
As a result of the January 25, 1999, earthquake in the city of Armenia, a favorable environment for mosquito breeding was created due to the collapse of buildings and the relocation of come of the people in areas where contact with possible vectors of disease was more favorable. To obtain baseline information for a vector control program, a survey was conducted to characterize the mosauito larvae fauna in water holdina containers in 14 of the 15 zones in which the citv was organized for the reconstruction processy Seven mosquito species were collected, Aedes aegypti being the most abundant one in the seven kinds of containers examined and in al1 of the zones studied. The Breteau index (10.92), the larval index (8.22), and the deposit index (9.44) determined in this study demonstrated the high risk for dengue transmission in the city and the need to continue and increase the efforts to control the mosquito vector.Downloads
