Entomological investigations were carried out in dengue affected villages and urban areas of Haridwar district, Uttarakhand, India to investigate the prevalence, distribution of\n Aedes<\/jats:italic>\n mosquitoes and identify high risk areas in Haridwar for proposing control.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n \n The entomological survey was carried out in all selected localities in different breeding habitats like domestic and peridomestic containers to detect\n Ae. aegypti<\/jats:italic>\n breeding with the help of standard entomological techniques. About 777 houses were screened from 12 dengue affected villages and municipal areas of Haridwar district during the month of November 2021.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Out of 777 surveyed houses, 119 (15.3%) houses have\n Aedes<\/jats:italic>\n breeding while out of 4360 water containers only 158 (3.6 %) were found positive for\n Aedes<\/jats:italic>\n breeding. During survey HI (15.32), CI (3.62), BI (20.33) and PI (35.78) were also calculated. The distribution of\n Aedes<\/jats:italic>\n larvae and Breeding Preference Ratio in different type of breeding habitats were also estimated, the highest positivity of\n Ae. aegypti<\/jats:italic>\n larvae was observed in underground\/ ground level cemented tanks (7.94) followed by tray of domestic refrigerator (4.55), discarded tyres (3.72), desert coolers (1.70), plastic containers (1.47), junk materials (1.28), mud-pots (0.58) and flowerpots (0.42), respectively.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Interpretation & conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n \n Aedes aegypti<\/jats:italic>\n mosquito was found to be the dominant species in domestic and peri-domestic breeding habitats, while\n Aedes albopictus<\/jats:italic>\n and\n Aedes vittatus<\/jats:italic>\n mosquito were also observed in outdoor breeding habitats of the houses. Breeding of\n Aedes<\/jats:italic>\n mosquito was found in water storage containers from the same areas where dengue cases were also reported.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jvbd.jvbd_14_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,19]],"date-time":"2025-05-19T04:02:19Z","timestamp":1747627339000},"page":"496-502","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["An entomological investigation in dengue affected areas during transmission season in district Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"62","author":[{"given":"R K","family":"Singh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ICMR-National Institute of Malaria Research, Field Unit, BHEL Campus, Health Centre, Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nasreen","family":"Akhtar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ICMR-National Institute of Malaria Research, Dwarka, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pooja","family":"Prasad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ICMR-National Institute of Malaria Research, Dwarka, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gurnam","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"District Malaria Officer, Haridwar, Uttarakhand, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Himmat","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ICMR-National Institute of Malaria Research, Dwarka, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20251215","first-page":"227","article-title":"The global pandemic of dengue\/dengue hemorrhagic fever: current status and prospects for the future","volume":"27","author":"Gubler","year":"1998","journal-title":"Annals of the Academy of Medicine, Singapore"},{"key":"R2-20251215","first-page":"633","article-title":"The Epidemic of Acute Hemorrhagic fever in Calcutta, in 1963","volume":"52","author":"Ramakrisnan","year":"1964","journal-title":"Ind Jour Med Res"},{"issue":"3","key":"R5-20251215","first-page":"189","article-title":"Entomological investigations during an outbreak of Dengue fever in Lal Kuan town, Nainital district of Uttarakhand, India","volume":"47","author":"Singh","year":"2010","journal-title":"Jour Vec Born Dis"},{"issue":"4","key":"R6-20251215","first-page":"16","article-title":"Prevalence of Aedes mosquitoes in various localities of Delhi during dengue transmission season","volume":"1","author":"Singh","year":"2014","journal-title":"Entomol and Appl Sci Lett"},{"issue":"3","key":"R7-20251215","first-page":"187","article-title":"Preventing dengue\/dengue haemorrhagic fever outbreaks in the National Capital Territory of Delhi - the role of entomological surveillance","volume":"30","author":"Kaul","year":"1998","journal-title":"The Journal of Communicable Diseases"},{"key":"R8-20251215","first-page":"156","article-title":"Dengue in the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi (India): epidemiological and entomological profile for the period 2003-2008","volume":"32","author":"Nandi","year":"2008","journal-title":"Deng Bullet"},{"issue":"3","key":"R9-20251215","first-page":"175","article-title":"Dengue\/DHF: an emerging disease in India","volume":"32","author":"Sharma","year":"2000","journal-title":"Jour Commun Dis"},{"key":"R10-20251215","first-page":"131","article-title":"Aedes aegypti indices and KAP study in Sangam Vihar, south Delhi, during the XIX Commonwealth Games, New Delhi","volume":"35","author":"Singh","year":"2010","journal-title":"Deng Bullet"},{"key":"R13-20251215","first-page":"166","article-title":"Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on prevention and control of dengue in Delhi, India","volume":"41","author":"Tuli","year":"2020","journal-title":"Dengue Bulletin"},{"issue":"1","key":"R14-20251215","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-022-13720-w","article-title":"Does COVID-19 lockdowns have impacted on global dengue burden?
