Abstract
A survey of mosquito breeding places in a municipal cemetery in Curitiba, Paraná State, Brazil, revealed about 60,000 flower vases, with the potential to support a population of approximately 12 million Cx. quinquefasciatus∗ and Ae. (Georgecraigius) fluviatilis larvae per year (Lozovei and Chahad 1997).
