Extract

During the past few months the writer conducted observations to determine, first, if Aëdes aegypti preferred places of oviposition within habitations or those located outside with natural shelter near by, and, second, the distance from human habitations at which this species may breed. These investigations were carried out in, or near, the compound of the West African Yellow Fever Commission at Yaba, near Lagos, Nigeria.
