A systematic door-to-door survey was undertaken in the city of Cochin, Kerala, India, during May 1990-April 1991 to enumerate the mosquito larval habitats in the area. The major larval habitats were found to be cement tanks, wells, cesspools, ponds, canals, drains, septic tanks, water meter chambers and miscellaneous peridomestic habitats such as tree holes, tree stumps, containers, tyres and pots. Cement tanks, overhead tanks and wells were found to support the highest numbers of larvae of A. stephensi; of the 2581 wells and 2128 cement tanks examined, 59 and 39, respectively, were found to support high densities of A. stephensi larvae.
