[The incidence of Culicidae in an urban area of Ciudad de La Habana during 1995].
In the present paper it is made an analysis of the incidence of culicides in the municipality of Marianao, Havana City, during 1995, after following the requirements of the National Program for the Eradication of Aedes aegypti. 6 species of mosquitoes were found in the municipality, with a predominance of the Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes mediovittatus species. 4 focuses of Aedes aegypti were detected during this period. It was found that the groups of deposits preferred by the culicides for their breeding in this municipality were other deposits, low tanks, artificial deposits and larva traps. The People's Councils 4 and 5 (Libertad and Pogolotti) had the highest number of focuses (967 and 1,240, respectively, and therefore, they need more attention. It is analyzed the influence of the deficiencies of the public services, such as the collection of solid, wastes (garbage) and the existence of leakages and sewing overflows, on the proliferation of mosquitoes in the municipality.
