Population Abundance, Distribution, Forecasting Models And Breeding Habitat Ecology Of Dengue Vectors In Penang Island

Ovitrap study was carried out to determine the field population abundance of dengue vectors, Aedes albopictus (Skuse) and Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) in three dengue hotspots in Penang Island from February 2008 to March 2010 (108 weeks). Thirty ovitraps were placed in each study area and collected week...
