Indoor-breeding of Aedes albopictus in northern peninsular Malaysia and its potential epidemiological implications
BACKGROUND: The mosquito Ae. albopictus is usually adapted to the peri-domestic environment and typically breeds outdoors. However, we observed its larvae in most containers within homes in northern peninsular Malaysia. To anticipate the epidemiological implications of this indoor-breeding, we asses...
