Abstract
The Ceylon Journal of Medical Science (CJMS) since its re-launch in 2016 is the official journal of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo. The focus of the CJMS is to provide a platform to those involved in diverse fields of medical science to publish high quality research. This will facilitate promotion of evidence based medicine and thereby improve health care. This platform is open to doctors, researchers, scientists in medical sciences and medical education and students in both medical and allied health sciences. The CJMS is an open access, peer-reviewed journal.
Highlights
Of breeding sites of Ae. aegypli and Ae. aibopicills comprised of water storage containers, discarded receptacles and tyres
This study shows that the areas situated be low 1300 111 elevation in Kandy and Nuwara Eliya districts are receptive for dengue transmission
Twenty six urban and semi urban areas located at different altitudes in 24 Divisional Director of Health Services (DDHS) areas in the Kandy and Nuwara Eliya districts were randomly selected for Aedes larval surveys
Summary
Of breeding sites of Ae. aegypli and Ae. aibopicills comprised of water storage containers, discarded receptacles and tyres. Breeding sites of Ae. aegypli and Ae. a/bopicills differed from one locality to another as welJ as from one time period to anolher. D H F surveillance and control measures in these areas is an urgent need to reduce morbidity and mortality, and the spatial distribution of DF/ DHF in U,e two districts. The breeding sites differed from one period of time to another and from one locality to another, dengue control measures shou ld be planned based on local and current entomological information. Aedes aegypli Linnaeus is important as the primary vector of dengue fever (OF) and dengue haemorrhagic fever (DH F) in tropical cOlmtries of the world. OF/ DHF is endemic in many urban and semi urban areas, and has invaded new areas, making the disease an important publiC health problem in U,e country (3)
