Abstract

Abstract There are varying ranges of habitats that have different characteristics of water for the breeding of mosquito. A house-to-house cross-sectional entomological survey was carried out at peridomestic area to detect larval breeding sites. Aedes albopictus was the predominant species in the container-breeding habitats. Most of the breeding habitats were class into high level of larval density. Turbidity, pH, TOC, magnesium, calcium and sodium is among the characteristics that shows a significant difference with the larval density and species composition respectively. As conclusion, characteristics of the mosquito breeding area can affect the larval density and give impact on the quality of life.
