Abstract

50 habitats used by Aedes aegypti in the urban environment of Havana City were reported. 66% corresponded to artificial deposits, of which 57.5% were classified as unuseful by the population. 14% were receptacles of domestic use, whereas 8% were natural breeding places. It calls the attention that 12% of the habitats were represented by pits, sewers and drainages that contain the so-called black waters; a factor that should be considered in the epidemiology of dengue in Cuba and that deserves a study of the ecological factors associated with the specie that may influence on this behavior. It is encouraged the community participation as a tool in the control of this dangerous vector.
