An investigation on 31 communes at Thua Thien - Hue province, with the total of 116 times of investigations had collected 29 species of Anopheles mosquitoes with 2 varitae: Anopheles Meigen, 1818 (10 species) and Cellia Theobald, 1902 (19 species). The predominant species were An. Sinensis, An. Aconitus and An. Philippinensis. 2 major mosquito vectors were An.dirus and An. Minimus, however they accounted for low rates

An evaluation of the current coverage and diminished rate of mosquito nets usage for malaria control plays an important role in malaria control planning. A survery was carried out between 1995 and 2003 in 15 hamlets of five communes of 3 malaria endemic districts in Thua Thien – Hue province. A high rate of bed-net usage was found in the surveyed hamlets. In average, the coverage reached the rate of 2.0 ± 0.3% nets per person. However a considerable rate of damaged nets (4.7 ± 1.2%) was also recorded in the surveys. Further surveys and studies should be conducted to determine the ways the bed-nets go down and get diminished for planning of more appropriate malaria control measures
