چکیده
The presence of Aedes aegypti in Malaya has been noted very early by Leicester (1908) and Stanton (l914).One of the earliest survey carried out on the species was by Reid (1954).Macdonald(1965a) submitted a paper dealing extensively with the distribution and dispersal of the species in Malaya. At that time, the interest in Ae. aegypti centered on it being a potential vector of yellow fever in Malaya but presently, its importance is as a vector of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF).
