Extract

During the six-month period from December 1925 to June 1926, some observations were carried out on the mosquito breeding that occurred in a number of “ test ” water-containers placed in various locations in the compound of the headquarters of the West Africa Yellow Fever Commission at Yaba, near Lagos, Nigeria. The main purpose of these observations was an endeavour to obtain supplemental information on the bionomics of the yellow fever mosquito, Aëdes (Stegomyia) aegypti, Linn., in West Africa.
