Abstract
Introduction: The study aimed to analyze the distribution of breeding sites registered in the aedes aegypti larval density assessment activities in a few years that preceded the Covid-19 pandemic and that followed it to verify whether the social isolation measures imposed, which resulted the longer the population stays in the residences, influenced the behavior of individuals with regard to care related to the removal of potential breeding sites and, therefore, the profile and number of types of aedes aegypti breeding sites changed in the following year to the Covid-19 pandemic. Method: Data from mosquito breeding sites from 2015 to 2019, before the pandemic, and 2021, the pandemic period, were used. The relative proportion of breeding sites per property in the State of São Paulo in years preceding the COVID-19 pandemic was compared with the year 2021 by region and state total. Results:An average of 2.5 breeding sites per property was observed in the state of São Paulo from 2015 to 2019 and 3.1 in 2021. The results show that there is no difference between the distribution of breeding sites in the years compared to the year 2021. Conclusion: Despite the restrictive social isolation measures imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic, there was no change in the distribution and number of breeding sites per property.
