Abstract

Background & Objective: Dengue, a major public health problem in India is caused mainly by Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus. In Uttarakhand State (India), there has been a heavy increase in dengue cases in the year 2010 and thereafter in 2011-12, there was a decline. Keeping in view a change in climatic scenario i.e., heavy rainfall during June to September, we are expecting more and more cases of dengue this year too. Since there is lack of information on the bionomics of the recognized vectors of dengue from this region, it has been planned to determine the efficacy of ovitraps in monitoring the distribution and abundance of Aedes species in different urban and suburban areas of district Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Methods: Ovitraps were placed at three sites viz., Sahastradhara, Garhi Cantt. and Karanpur of Dehradun city during
