The most breeding of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were at indoor and outdoor water environments, including waterholding containers such as vases, jars, bathtubs, tires, garden debris, leaves, and flowerpots.

The survey was conducted in Alobiedtown, North Kordofan State in the in the selected 17 sites during September–November 2018. The mosquito immaturestage including larvae and pupal stage of the genus Aedes were collected from the surveyed positive containers bysweep nets.

From a total of 784 containers wereinspected with 136 containers positive. The House index (HI) during the period from September-November, 2018was found to be 37.2%, the Breatu index (BI) was 10.7%, and container index (CI) was 17.3% while the pupal perdemographic (P/D) was 0.05. No significance differences between Aedes aegypti indices during different months. Itcan be concluded that Aedes aegypti was prevalent in Alobied town.
