Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and preference of the Aedes mosquitoes to oviposit based on the container index, types of container and types of water. To achieve the aim, 58 ovitraps consisted two types, modified can and plactic material Aedes Larva Ovitrap (ALOT), each were placed side by side at selected sampling sites within a university campus and teaching hospital area. Five different types of water were used (rain water, tap water, reverse osmosis water, pond water and well water). The identified Aedes species in this study were more for Aedes Albopictuscompared to Aedes Aegypti, with more mosquito eggs were oviposited in modified can and rain water. In conclusion, Aedes surveillance using ovitrap is the most sensitive, cost-effective and reliable method to detect the presence of Aedes species.
