A comprehensive survey was carried out in the Port Blair town in Andaman and Nicobar islands, in order to study the distribution and relative prevalence of Aedes aegypti during the monsoon (July'1997-October'1997) season using larval survey and adult collection methods. Ae. aegypti was found in all 21 localities surveyed. Spatial variations in distribution was evident which was closely related to population density. The nature of the larval habitats was observed to be similar in all the localities. For both outdoor and in-door containers, breeding preference ratio was highest for mud/brick/cement containers, followed by metal and plastic containers. These findings are correlated with water storage habits of the residents in the localities surveyed.
为了利用幼虫调查和成虫收集方法研究季风季节（1997年7月至1997年10月）安达曼和尼科巴群岛布莱尔港镇埃及伊蚊的分布及相对流行情况，开展了一项全面调查。在所调查的全部21个地区均发现了埃及伊蚊。分布的空间差异明显，这与人口密度密切相关。在所有地区观察到幼虫栖息地的性质相似。对于室外和室内容器，泥/砖/水泥容器的繁殖偏好率最高，其次是金属和塑料容器。这些发现与所调查地区居民的储水习惯相关。
