title: Factors influencing the seasonal abundance of Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti and the control strategy of dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever in Thanlyin Township, Yangon City, Myanmar.
abstract: From June 2006 to May 2007, mosquito surveys were conducted in Thanlyin   Township, Yangon City, Myanmar, to determine factors influencing the abundance of Aedes   aegypti (Stegomyia aegypti) during the rainy season. Both the biological and environmental   factors were included in this study. Increase in the hatchability of egg, larval survival rate,   the shortened larval life-span and increased pupation rates supplemented by rainfall (i.e.   continuous flooding of the containers, stimulate the continuous hatching of eggs) were   observed for correlation with the increase in population density of Ae. aegypti during the   rainy season in the study area. Control strategy of Ae. aegypti to analyze the infestation in the   community (study area) with larval Ae. aegypti, integrated management measures including   health education, attitudes and practices regarding dengue and dengue haemorrhagic fever,   transmission of the disease and possible preventive measures, reduction of breeding sites   and testing the efficacy of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (B.t.i.) with respect to the   reduction level of Ae. aegypti larvae in breeding sources, were taken into consideration.
