[Results of a survey of potential dengue vectors in the Neo-Caledonian archipelago].

The author gives the results of an entomological survey in neo-caledonian archipelago (New Caledonia and Loyalty Islands), november-december 1972. Concerning the distribution and the abundance of Aedes aegypti, the local dengue vector, this study shows the presence of this culicid not only in Noumea, but also all along the western developped coast of New Caledonia, and in Ouvea Island. This constitutes a great risk of outbreak extension from Noumea if a dengue virus is again imported there.
