*The same water tanks in the dry and wet season, but rank order has changed in some cases.

**% of infested containers (of specific type) from all containers of that type; “small containers” were all un-used . ***% of all pupae encountered **** Uruguay has an irregular distribution of rainfall during the year; dry season corresponds to November until first two weeks in December and wet season to April until the first two weeks of May.
