“…Dengue NS1 antigen can be used to detect the presence of dengue virus in mosquitoes. 13 However, in the present study, the NS1 antigen test was negative in all emerged A. albopictus and A. aegypti pools. This might be because adult mosquitoes which emerged directly from the larvae were tested rather than those directly from the field.…”

“…Findings of the current study are supported by a few other studies done in Sri Lanka in similar urban and suburban regions. 10,11 A study on the prevalence and breeding habitats of A. aegypti and A. albopictus in the semi-urban areas of Kandy and Kurunegala with contrasting climatic patterns over a 12 month period from June 2007 to May 2008 reported the predominance of A. albopictus in the study areas. 9 Another study carried out by Ekiriyagala et al 10 from July to September 2011 from selected urban and suburban areas of Kegalle and Peradeniya also found A. albopictus to be the more abundant vector.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
