| Abstract | ||||
| The present study showed that Aedes caspius preferred metal ovitraps inside or near houses but may breed as farout as 80 m. from houses. Culex pip < /em>iens molestus preferred plastic, ovitraps while Culex antennatus did not show any preference for any of the three types of containers (metal, glass, plastic) both the species favord outdoor habitats and may breed as far as 100 m. from houses. Insignificant negative correlations were found between the density of larvae and pupae of culicine mosquitoes and the density of associated predaceous (in, 1992). Insignificantly positive correlations were found between the density of predaceous and the density of the larvae of Culex antennatus (in 1993), wherease the relationship with Culex p < /em>ipiens molestus was insignificantly negative. | ||||
