Abstract

The study indicated that Aedes albopictus and Culex quinquefasciatus were capable of breeding in a wide range of container types under seasonal variations. To control these mosquitoes, the elimination of artificial or alteration of breeding sites in and around the centre for Post-graduate Studies campus areas should be taken into consideration.
