Abstract
A survey conducted in eight airports of the South pacific, yielded 2,044 larvae and 136 adult forms, belonging to 25 Culicidae species. Breeding places were found in every airport, either within the perimeter (6 airports) or in the protective zone. Some potentially dangerous vectors were identified: Aedes aegypti (4 airports), Ae. polynesiensis, Ae. vigilax, Anopheles farauti (2 airports), Culex annulirostris, C. p. quinquefasciatus. Vector control measures should be strengthened to suppress every breeding place within the airport perimeter.
