Profiling of dengue vectors breeding habitat at urban residential areas in Shah Alam, Malaysia

Dengue fever is an urban vector-borne disease transmitted by Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. Both species lay their eggs in favourable breeding containers either in natural or artificial containers. Thus, an understanding of Aedes species habitat characteristics is important in combating dengue...
