Resumen:
The study aimed to determinate the maximum daily peak of Aedes aegypti
oviposition in the city of Oran, northwestern Argentina. Biweekly samplings
were taken between November 2006 and February 2007 (spring-summer). The
city was divided into three areas (north, center, and south) and households
were randomly selected. Two ovitraps were placed outdoors in the selected
houses. Ovitraps were replaced every four hours, from morning (8 a.m.) to late
afternoon (8 p.m.). The largest number of eggs was recorded between 4 p.m.
and 8 p.m. (81%). These fi ndings enhance our understanding of the vector and
thus its control such as spraying during the hours of peak oviposition activity.
