Abstract
The entomological surveillance was conducted in urban, semi-urban/slum, industrial and residential areas during main transmission period from June to November 2012. In residential sites house index was 41.7-35.0, breteau index 71.7-136.7 and container index 11.6-20.2. During transmission period all the values ware much higher than the threshold level. The causes of high values of entomological indicator appeared to be rapid industrialization, unawareness of the conditions or factors that can exacerbate mosquito breeding, water storage habits in community and un-implementation of health related legislation.Keywords: Aedes; Dengue; Entomological indicators
