title: [Comparative study between larvitraps and ovitraps for evaluating the presence of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) in Campo Grande, State of Rio de Janeiro].
abstract: With the objective of evaluating the efficiency of traps for monitoring dengue and yellow fever vectors in Rio de Janeiro, 12 larvitraps and 12 ovitraps were used simultaneously for 13 weeks. The results indicated that the larvitraps presented greater capacity for positive findings, thereby highlighting it as an important monitoring tool for vector surveillance.
