Detecção de Aedes aegypti e Aedes albopictus, na zona urbana do município de Catanduva-SP, após controle de epidemia de dengue

After the realization of control research that had in view the transmition of dengue virus, we started to monitor two kinds of entomological vigilance, Breteau Index and ovitrap. We intended to evaluate the necessary time elapsed before Aedes sp mosquitoes were again detected at the urban area of Catanduva s town (SP). The ovitraps showed positiviness for the Aedes aegypti two months after the control research, while the Breteau Index became positive only at the fourth month after the end of the refered research.
