Survey of Aedes aegypti eggs in and around homes in Tucson, Arizona.
The abundance and location of eggs of Aedes aegypti were evaluated through inspection of 24 Tucson homes during the winter of 1998-99 to assess the potential of the mosquitoes to overwinter in this area. Eggs were found either indoors or outdoors in 46% of residences surveyed. After immersion in water, about 23% of eggs found indoors hatched, and about 5% of eggs found outdoors hatched.
