Bionomics
In association with man, aegypti
will use any and all natural and artifical containers. Away
from urban areas the species tends to favor pools in river beds,
tree stumps, tree holes and natural containers. Females are
primarily day biters and readily enter buildings to feed. They
have also been taken in lesser numbers at night (Christophers
1960).
Medical Importance
Primary vector of dengue and yellow fever (Christophers
1960).
