Assessment of larval and pupal indices of dengue mosquito vectors in a North-Eastern state of Tripura, India

CONCLUSION: The present study identified Ae. albopictus as a potential vector of dengue in Tripura. The study gave important insights on the preferred larval habitats and provides information on the indication of displacement of Ae. albopictus from rural to urban and semi-urban areas. However, longitudinal studies for longer time frame are necessary for any conclusive remarks.PMID:38648411 | DOI:10.4103/0972-9062.392268
