During the 2023\u20132024 rainy season, there was a marked rise in febrile cases resembling dengue across urban areas. In response, ICMR-NIMR, in collaboration with local health authorities, initiated entomological surveillance campaign. This effort aimed to identify dengue vectors and implement rapid intervention strategies to mitigate disease transmission.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An entomological survey was conducted in 16 wards of the Raigarh city. The study incorporated epidemiological data spanning nine years (2016\u20132024), along with a detailed month-wise analysis of dengue cases reported in 2023 and 2024. Vector density was assessed with House Index (HI), Container Index (CI), and Breteau Index (BI), to identify high-risk areas and predominant vector species.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 2,080 water-holding containers were identified across 622 surveyed properties, for vector breeding.
