Methods
Life forms: mosquitoes
Sites: 30
Sampling methods: no design,hand capture
Sample size: 360 individuals
Years: 2011
Sampling comments: "thirty mosquito breeding sites were chosen, maintaining a distance of at least 200 m radius between two sites... Sampling for mosquito larvae was conducted using the dipping method employing a 250 ml scoop... Sampling was performed on a monthly interval between February and July 2011. Sampling in March was not done as most of the habitats were dry"
