Over several years of conducting our urban mosquito surveys in the Caribbean, we have visited Basseterre, St. Kitts several times.  Mosquito populations have varied here, but we have found sites of breeding and larval development in the center of the city, primarily in the water trays of flower pots.  This island has been surveyed for mosquitoes more than most islands in the Caribbean, partly because of the interest generated by the island being the home for the Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine.  RUSVM is a widely esteemed institution, especially for the study of tropical veterinary medicine.  Students and faculty come to the school from origins around the world.
