“…albopictus prefers natural containers or outdoor manmade habitats containing abundant amounts of organic debris (19). The temperature, DO, and pH of breeding site water have differences between endemic and non-endemic areas (33). The physicochemical and biological markers of mosquito larval habitats help in mapping of areas suitable for breeding and distribution for targeting surveillance and controlling activities (17,34).…”

BackgroundThe knowledge of key elements of the ecosystem affecting mosquito distribution and their population dynamics is essential for designing mosquito-borne disease interventions. The present study characterized the physicochemical properties of Aedes mosquito breeding habitats in Democratic Republic of the Congo.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was carried out in Kinshasa, from February to April 2021. The physicochemical characteristics of the natural and artificial aquatic habitats of Aedes were measured using a multiparametric device.ResultsOut of 438 breeding habitats inspected, 273 (62.3%) contained mosquito larvae. The Aedes mosquitoes identified in 76.19% of positive breeding sites were Aedes albopictus (67.30%) and Aedes aegypti (37.98%). The median values of dissolved oxygen (DO) (1.0), turbidity (19.15), and salinity (0.115) in water breeding sites of Aedes were respectively 0.8, 55.0, and 0.29 in Culex breeding sites (p < 0.05). The physicochemical characteristics of the breeding habitat for Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus were almost identical. In urban areas, the median temperature was 29.82 while it was 29.60 in suburban areas (p < 0.05). Significantly, the salinity was higher in bamboo and metal containers while DO was higher in tins. After analysis using simple linear regression, total dissolved solids (r = 0.23; p = 0.000), conductivity (r = 0.23), salinity (r = 0.23), and temperature (r = 0.13) were associated with larval density (p < 0.05). In the final model (r = 0.30, p = 0.01), salinity (r = 0.23) and DO (r = 0.138) adjusted to temperature, pH, and turbidity were associated positively to larvae density.ConclusionThe Aedes breeding sites and mosquito density were significantly influenced by water salinity, DO, temperature, pH, and turbidity.

“…Many species of mosquitoes are vectors of diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, filariasis, Nile virus, Zika virus (WHO, 2018) in humans and they also transmit animal diseases like heart worm diseases of dogs, the fowl pox of poultry, rift -valley of fever of sheep and myxomatosis of rabbit (Adnan et al, 2021). In 2018, there were 228 million cases worldwide leading to an estimated 405,000 deaths (Hidayah, 2019). Nearly, 93% of the cases and 94% of deaths occurred in Africa and estimated to result in losses up to US$12 billion each year due to increased healthcare costs, loss of ability to work, and negative effects on tourism (WHO, 2018).…”

Natural or artificial collection of water serves as an optimum habitat that supports mosquito’s breeding, while savannah, grasslands or shady low woodlands supports their resting activities, swarming and mating. Samples were collected from breeding sites within some selected locations from January to June. Five hundred and thirty two mosquito larvae belonging to 3 genera Culex, Anopheles and Aedes were collected and seven species of mosquitoes were identified comprising; Culex quinquefasciatus 102 (19.17%), Aedes aegypti 345(64.84%), Culex decens 8 (1.50%), Aedes vittatus 49 (9.21%) Culex simpsoni 8(1.50%), Culex tigripes 17 (3.20%) and Anopheles gambiae 3(0.50%). Aedes aegypti was common in all the locations. Water samples were collected from seven different major breeding sites such as abandoned tyres 155(50.82%), Concrete gutters 50(16.39%), Pools 10 (3.27%) ponds 4 (1.31%), Plastic containers50 (16.39%), Potholes 6 (1.97%) and Metallic containers30 (9.84%) totaling 305 sampled breeding sites. The characteristics of breeding sites noted were the movement of water in the breeding places, the consistency of the presence of water in the breeding places, the existence of vegetation on the breeding and types of predators. Correlation analysis showed abundance of mosquitoes decreased with increase in physicochemical parameters. In conclusion, the common house mosquito (Aedes aegypti) was most abundant and occurring in abandoned tyres; while the physico-chemical parameters were all within the acceptable limits for mosquito breeding.

“…albopictus is found outside the home, statistically the location of container is not related to the incidence of DHF, however it turns out that the location of container is related to the presence of larvae 15. Unlike the research in Semarang and Banjar Regency, there was no relationship between the location of container and the existence of larvae [28][29].…”

The condition of Kupang City has low rainfall, low rainy days and includes dry areas, but it turns out that Kupang City had always the highest incidence rate in Nusa Tenggara Timur Province and exceed the national average. This study will analyze the relationship of container characteristic to the incidence of DHF in Kupang City. This study was an observational analytic study with a case control design. The study conducted in 25 villages with total sample 500 people of DHF patients and non DHF patients in Kupang City. The research variables are number of container, water height, water volume, water pH, container type, container location, container material, container lid, and container color which were collected by doing direct observation and measuring the object of study. The collected data was processed and analyzed statistically using Independent T test and Chi Square test. The container conditions related to the incidence of DHF were the amount of container, water pH, and type of container. Whereas the container conditions that were not related to the incidence of DHF are water level, water volume, container location, container material, container cover and container color.
