Abstract
Between April 1987 and March 1988, populations of immature Aedes albop ictus and Toxorhynchites spp. in bamboo pots were sampled weekly. Popu lations of Ae. albopictus and rainfall varied from month to month. Dur ing the heavy rainfall months of September and October 1987, larval co unts of Ae. albopictus were high, between 30.8 and 49.2 larvae per wee k compared to 16 larvae per week during the low rainfall month of Janu ary 1988. A higher population of Toxorhynchites spp. was associated wi th a low population of the vector.
