Abstract:
The study was conducted at five communes from regions (Hµ T©y, Thõa Thiªn HuÕ, §µ N½ng, Kh¸nh Hßa, and Kiªn Giang province). The results indicated that the key breeding places of Aedes aegypti is different from region to region. In the Northern field trial, key breeding sites of Aedes aegypti are concrete tanks (65.6%); aquarium tanks (10.0%); and flower vases (15%). In the Central region, key breeding sites of Aedes Aegypti are wells, drums, ant traps, aquariums, toilette tanks. In the South, Aedes aegypti larvae are concentrated in big-size jars (67%), small-breeding sites of dengue vectors was changed after applying the intervention methods. It is clearly that the identification of key breeding places of Aedes aegypti are useful to propose the appropriate, effective control methods, and to evaluate the success of intervention measures.
