Therefore, it is necessary to quantify the vector abundarice in order to determine the level of risk and to evaluate the prevention and control actlons implemented. Objectives: To determine the vector abundance breeding place preferences.

Results: Larvae and pupae of Ae. a.egypti we re fou nd in a great variety of containers, most of which had been discarded. The House Index obtained was 47 %, whlle the percentage of water-holding containers examined that had larva or pupa was 24 %. The Breteau Index was estimated at 106 % Conclusions: According to the indices estimated, Córdoba city is In a risk situation if any infected person vith any dengue virus enters our city.
