Water level flux in household containers in Vietnam--a key determinant of Aedes aegypti population dynamics.
We examined changes in the abundance of immature Aedes aegypti at the household and water storage container level during the dry-season (June-July, 2008) in Tri Nguyen village, central Vietnam. We conducted quantitative immature mosquito surveys of 171 containers in the same 41 households, with repl...
