Abstract
This dataset contains monthly aggregated records of mosquito oviposition activity collected using ovitraps of different materials (plastic, glass, and bamboo) from June 2017 to May 2018 in Eldorado, Misiones, Argentina, where Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus co-occur. Data are summarized by month and ovitrap type. Eggs collected from ovitrap paddles were counted and classified according to their condition (hatched, collapsed, and intact). Total egg abundance per sampling unit is also provided. Eggs were subsequently immersed to induce hatching, and resulting larvae were reared to the fourth instar for species identification. The dataset includes the number of positive ovitraps, total larval emergence, and species-specific detection (Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus).

Description of the data and file structure
The data were used for the analyses presented in the manuscript “Evaluation of ovitraps of different materials to monitor the seasonal activity of co-occurring Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus”.
The dataset contains data from the monitoring of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus using ovitraps made of different materials (plastic, bamboo, and glass) in Eldorado, Misiones, Argentina, from May 2017 to May 2018.
The dataset consists of two files:
alldata.csv:
Description: Contains the individual records from the collections conducted weekly from May 2017 to May 2018. Each record corresponds to an individual ovitrap and includes information on egg condition, larval abundance, and species identification.

| non intacts | Number of non-intact eggs, calculated as the sum of collapsed and hatched eggs |
| intacts | Number of intact eggs |
| Total | Total number of eggs, calculated as the sum of intact, collapsed, and hatched eggs |
| p/a_Total | Presence/absence of larvae, coded as 0 = absent and 1 = present |

| p/a_Ae_albopictus | Presence/absence of Aedes albopictus larvae, coded as 0 = absent and 1 = present |
