Abstract
A sampling program was developed for estimating the daily emergence of Aedes aegypti (L.) in the town of Sonepat, North India, from direct counts of pupae in houses. Estimates made for 27 fortnights in 1974–1975 ranged from 316 per day in February to 23,022 per day in June. High emergence was associated with increased water storage in densely populated areas in the town. Concrete cisterns were the most productive containers (58.1–83.1% of total emergence) while the more numerous clay pots were 2nd in order of importance (11.4–29.9%).
