- Abstract
The article presents a study which examined the presence of mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus larvae in brackish water collection along the South China Sea and Brunei Darussalam for possible dengue virus infestation. The researchers hypothesized that the combined effects of rainfall, sea spray and tides have altered the salinity level of mosquito habitat in these areas.
