Distribution of the total number of pupae and larvae sampled in the field in two different locations (east/west), during two different seasons (winter/summer) in two different habitats (gully/urban). Site classes were as follow: 0: Natural, 1: Flowerpot plates, 2: Small containers, 3: Big containers, 4: Tyres, 5: Basin and tank and 6: Bromeliad plants. To be noticed, that no mosquitoes were collected from the western site from natural developmental sites in the urban habitat during the winter or from artificial developmental sites in the gully habitat during the summer.
