Ae Aegyptia Case Study
2.3.2. Categories of containers found around human habitations
The breeding containers for Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus can be found in and around human habitations (Nazri et al., 2013). Water quality is the key aspect for larval breeding habitat (Nazri et al., 2013). As a result, it can be found in variability of habitations either with fresh water, salty water or any clear water, muddled or unclean except in marine habitat life which has high concentrations of salt (Saleeza & Azirun, 2011). Therefore, in any surroundings that able to retain water whether in natural or non-natural containers and receptacles, they still can breed (Saleeza & Azirun, 2011).
Ae. aegypti is more predominant nearby human houses and is a main vector in urban areas, …show more content…
Class I was well thought-out to be the most significant and contained huge –sized containers (water reservoir). Class 2 containers denote as medium small in size such as buckets, empty cans and covers. Class 3 comprise of decorative containers such as earthen pots and flower vases. Class 4 containers consist of recyclables objects like plastic pots, tires and polyethylene sheets. Class 5 such as ceramics, metal cans and car parts were a container that had been rejected and cannot be reprocessing anymore. As for the class 6, it consists of a minor group of needed containers for example, ant’s guards and dustbins which could not be cast-off but easily …show more content…
The design of main container was changed in line with time, place and urbanization evolution. In 1970, in Singapore, the ant traps, discarded items and earthenware jar able to produce Aedes larvae. In Malaysia, it was reported that the same group of containers were also become a key breeding sites in Malaysia (Rahman et al., 2012a). Later on, it turns into discarded items like basins, buckets, tanks and bowls which favoured by Aedes mosquitoes (Rahman et al., 2012a).
Urbanization factors make the larval habitat changes to earthenware jars and throwaway containers outdoors and concrete tanks at indoors. According to the research study conducted by Rahman et al., 2012, the most efficiently identified group container are large water storage containers like wells, drums and concrete tanks, while most frequent are buckets and their covers and empty paint cans. The resident’s behavioural using empty cans as buckets to fill in with water increasing breeding habitation and cases of dengue. In order to cope this problem, few dengue endemic countries have reshaped the container
