“…aegypti is found, cemeteries fulfil most of its prime requirements due to the presence of numerous water-filled containers, flowers, few buildings surrounded by vegetation, and permanent sources of human blood (Vezzani et al 2001). Moreover, the different micro-and macrohabitats present within and among cemeteries provide an opportunity to investigate how environmental factors influence the distribution and abundance of container-inhabiting mosquitoes (O'Meara et al 1992b).…”

The efficacy of a larvicide, temephos, for controlling Ae. aegypti was evaluated in a cemetery in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Breeding sites decreased from 18.4% in the first study period
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
