Caracterización bacteriológica en lagunas de irrigación y la relación con el índice de infestación larvaria por Anopheles albimanus

The purpose of this study was to establish the relationship of the bacteriologic contamination by organic matter of the irrigation pond and the infestation larval index of Anopheles albimanus ; a tool for monitoring the vector control in aquatic phase. The type of study is transverse descriptive with statistic calculating of correlation coefficient of Pearson. It taked water samples of the pont, to for establish two elements, one of them, was to determine the contamination for total coliform, fecal coliform and Escherichia coli . In the other, we determined the infestation larval index of Anopheles albimanus , according to International Standards (PAHO/WHO). 8 irrigation pounds, were monitored in this study. In all of them, we detected a high bacteriologic contamination by total coliform, fecal coliform and Escherichia coli . The correlation coefficient of Pearson between the study´s variable was near to cero, suitable, there was no relationship of the bacteriologic contamination and the infestation larval index of Anopheles albimanus . There are many factors (sunlight, temperature, salt concentration, etc.) in the biotope of the mosquitoes that have an intervention in the biologic cycle of them.
