This study aimed to evaluate the presence of Aedes aegypti in breeding sites located in vacant lots (VLs) and determine the effectiveness of VL cleaning to reduce insect foci.
Two types of VLs were sampled, the experimental VL, which was cleaned monthly, and the control VL, which was not cleaned.
Monthly cleaning of VLs reduced the abundance of immature forms of A. aegypti.
Strategies for combating this vector should include regular cleaning of VLs and educating the public regarding the risks of discarding waste in inappropriate areas.
本研究旨在评估在空地（VLs）中存在的埃及伊蚊滋生地，并确定 VL 清洁对减少昆虫孳生地的有效性。
对两种类型的 VL 进行了采样，即每月进行清洁的实验组 VL 和未进行清洁的对照组 VL。
VL 的每月清洁降低了埃及伊蚊的未成熟形式的丰度。
针对该媒介的防治策略应包括定期清洁 VLs，并教育公众不要将废物丢弃在不合适的区域。
