Water-holding stone vases were sampled in 4 central Florida cemeteries to compare the prevalence of mosquitoes in containers with and without metallic liners. Overall, immature mosquitoes were found in more than 60% of the vases lacking liners and in more than 50% of the vases with aluminum liners. Significantly fewer vases with copper liners were positive for mosquitoes. High mortality and a lack of development were observed in a field test involving the introduction of Aedes aegypti larvae into stone vases with copper liners.
在佛罗里达州中部的4个公墓中对保水石花瓶进行了采样，以比较有无金属衬里的容器中蚊子的滋生情况。总体而言，在超过60%没有衬里的花瓶中发现了未成熟的蚊子，在超过50%有铝衬里的花瓶中也发现了未成熟的蚊子。有铜衬里的花瓶中蚊子呈阳性的数量明显较少。在一项涉及将埃及伊蚊幼虫引入有铜衬里的石花瓶的实地试验中，观察到了高死亡率和发育停滞的情况。
