摘要
Knowledge on breeding habitat of Aedes species is vital to provide a better understanding of the interaction between environmental factors. Mosquito larvae were collected using dipping method from different types of habitat. Finding showed that the density of larvae was in accordance of Frequency, Intensity and Duration of epidemic variation. There were no significant variation in pH and temperature of water for the three indices. On the contrary there were significant differences in dissolved oxygen, turbidity, conductivity, wind velocity, ambient temperature and relative humidity across the indices. In conclusion, environmental characteristics may affect the selection of breeding habitat by Aedes species for their survival and population densities. (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
