Objective: Analyse how basic sanitation conditions, water supply and housing conditions affect the concentration of Culex quinquefasciatus
Methods: Populations of C. quinquefasciatus in 61 houses in the municipality of Olinda, PE, were monitored between October 2009 and October 2010. Observations were carried out in homes without the presence of preferred breeding sites in order to identify characteristics that may be aggravating factors for the development of the mosquito.
Evaluation of a sticky trap (AedesTraP), made from disposable plastic bottles, as a monitoring tool for Aedes aegypti populations.

Article Synopsis
- Dengue virus is a significant public health issue, and the AedesTrap, made from recycled materials, effectively captures Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which spread the disease.
- Field tests showed that using multiple traps increased mosquito capture, especially outdoors, with one trap capturing an average of 0.5 to 2.63 females per household.
- The study suggests that the AedesTrap can aid in monitoring mosquito populations and potentially inform control efforts in preventing dengue outbreaks.

Infusions with fetid and non-fetid odors were compared as an oviposition stimulant. Traps baited with infusions of dehydrated cashew leaves (Anacardium occidentale), potato peels (Solanum tuberosum) and graminea (Panicum maximum) were compared as attractants, and the effect of odor (fetid and unfetid) on attractiveness was tested.
