ABSTRACT
A descriptive study, of ecological type was carried out in the health area of “Carlos Juan Finlay” Polyclinic during the 2012, with the objective of determining some variables of interest related to the positivity of adult Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, for which the 109 detected foci were investigated, collecting 159 samples, from which 128 were female and 31 males--identified according to Detinova technique--. In the statistical analysis the variables were grouped in absolute and relative frequencies, rates and percentages; the X2 test was also applied, with a significance of 0.05, for 95% of confiability. The positivity of adults Aedes Aegypti mosquitoes captured in this health area in that year was higher than the municipal mean and the provincial mean, which was related to the foci in the blocks, the poor treatment of the larvae foci, the presence of generating larvae foci and the environmental risks identified in the investigation; besides the search and scarce collection of mature mosquitoes by operators A and the control chain.REFERENCES
