Abstract

BRESER, Victor J.; DIEZ, Fernando; ROSSI, Gustavo C.  and  MICIELI, María V.. Determination of the seasonal period of oviposition of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) in the city of Santa Rosa, La Pampa, Argentina. Rev. Soc. Entomol. Argent. [online]. 2013, vol.72, n.1-2, pp.111-114. ISSN 0373-5680.

The oviposition period of Aedes aegypti L. was studied for Santa Rosa, La Pampa, Argentina. Ovitraps were placed during the year 2011 in five different locations of this city and weekly samplings were carried out during that year. The relationship between temperature and weekly oviposition activity was also studied and a stop in the oviposition activity was observed when the temperature dropped below 16°C. These data allow us to extend the knowledge of this vector in the provincial capital, providing as well the necessary information to implement control measures in this city.
