ABSTRACT
In Malaysia, dengue fever remains a significant public health concam, with Aedes mosquito serving as the primary vectors. This study aimed to assess temporal trends in Aedes density and examine the relationship between the breeding container index and mosquito abundance in dengue hotspot localities. Entomological surveillance was carried out across 23 dengue hotspot localities in the Lembah Pantai District, Kuala Lumpur, from 2023 to 2025. Three standard indices were recorded the Aedes Index (A), Container Index (C), and Premise Index (P). The relationship between container positivity and mosquito density levels was examined using Spearman's rank-order comlation. The results showed that mosquito demity peaked in 2024, with a median Al of 16.67 and alof 11.76, indicating widespread infestation across the district. By 2025, all indions had declined to near-zero levels (Al 0.07; Cl and Pl=0.06), representing a reduction of more than 99% compared with 2024 Spearman's correlation between Cl and Al increased from a moderate, non-significant association in 2023 08-0410, p=0.052] to a strong and highly significant correlation in 20240458 p<0.00 remaining significant in 2005 (r=0.833, p=000). The consistent association between Cl and Al across the study period suggests that breeding container positivity is a reliable indicator of Andes population intensity. The marked decline observed in 2025 may reflect successful vector control interventions, environmental influences, or both. These findings provide evidence-based support for utilising container-focused surveillance as a key component of dengue prevention and vector management.
