NEUS, M. J.  y  JAIMES OCHOA, E. A.. Entomological aspects related to dengue in the "José Félix Ribas" municipality, Aragua state, Venezuela.. Rev. Soc. Ven. Microbiol. [online]. 2002, vol.22, n.1, pp.64-67. ISSN 1315-2556.

Some aspects related to the dengue problem were investigated. The study area was José Félix Ribas municipality, Aragua State, Venezuela. Notwithstanding the fact that the means of Aedes aegypti per house, pupas per container, means of containers per house, mean inhabitants living per house, and irregular forms of water supply, are all factors associated with dengue, at the moment the results of this study are not statistically conclusive. We recommend to study these factors for a longer time, including epidemical and non epidemical periods.
