The research team proved the ability of mosquitoes to reproduce in dirty standing water, as well as in clean standing water. The researchers settled this by sending out surveys to people living in the different municipalities of Santo Domingo and asking them questions related to their proximity to water and seeing how this affected the percentage of dengue cases. From the 202 surveyed, 54.5% lived near dirty standing water and 63.4% have had cases of dengue.
