Spatiotemporal distribution of dengue vectors & identification of high risk zones in district Sonitpur, Assam, India.

Abstract

Yearlong monitoring of dengue vectors was done for the first time in this region. Monthly maximum temperature and the number of rainy days could be used for the prediction of larval density of Aedes mosquitoes. The identification high dengue risk zones would help in adopting targeted interventions for disease management in future.
