dc.description.abstractThree species of Aedes viz., Aedes albopictus, Aedes aegypti and Aedes annandalei were detected from different breeding sources in and around human habitats during entomological study conducted following an outbreak suspected to be of dengue (which occurred during, 1994) in parts of Medziphema PHC area of Nagaland in two different points of time ie., in the year, 1994 and, 2000. The potential dengue vector, Aedes albopictus showed high preponderance by breeding in all types of containers searched with high Breteau Index (BI) value of 85.0 and 72.72 recorded in, 1994 and, 2000 respectively whereas the BI value for other potential vector, Aedes aegypti was recorded low (4.9) in the year, 1994 with a substantial increase (31.81) in, 2000. The change in ecosystem along with the process of urbanization has facilitated the growth of these dengue vector mosquitoes in the area of investigation. Adults of both Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus were found to be susceptible to DDT, dieldrin and malathion in insecticide bioassay carried out using WHO test kit.en_US
