The rapid spread of these diseases in urban environments, driven by climate change and human activities, necessitates effective surveillance and control strategies. In Iran, the emergence of\n                      <jats:italic>Aedes aegypti<\/jats:italic>\n                      has raised concerns about potential outbreaks of the disease, particularly in southern regions such as Hormozgan Province.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A retrospective descriptive study was conducted using routinely collected entomological surveillance data from the national invasive\n                      <jats:italic>Aedes<\/jats:italic>\n                      surveillance program of Iran CDC. The study covered urban areas of Bandar Abbas County, southern Iran, from January 2022 to December 2025. Biweekly ovitrap surveillance and larval survey data were analyzed to describe temporal trends of egg, house, container, and Breteau indices. Surveillance outputs during full and reduced operational capacity phases were compared descriptively. Associations between indices and meteorological variables were assessed using Pearson or Spearman correlation analyses.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Entomological indices showed marked temporal and interannual variability between 2022 and 2025. Egg indices varied seasonally, with an obvious peak in April 2023. House, container, and Breteau indices generally declined during 2023, coinciding with intensified surveillance and control activities, but resurged in parts of 2024 following a substantial reduction in operational capacity. During the reduced\u2010capacity phase, egg indices remained nonzero, whereas larval indices were predominantly zero, likely reflecting decreased surveillance coverage. No statistically significant correlations were observed between entomological indices and temperature, relative humidity, or rainfall.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion and Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The findings emphasize the need for continuous entomological surveillance and community engagement in managing\n                      <jats:italic>Aedes<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2010borne diseases. This study highlights the necessity for integrated vector management strategies that include community\u2010based interventions and robust monitoring systems.
