The purpose of this study was to determine whether larval Ae. albopictus inhabiting Phytotelmata is a potential transmitter of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). The results concluded that Ae.albopictus larvae which inhabited Phytotelmata positively contained two serotypes of dengue virus (DEN-1) and (DEN-4) which has the potential to transmit and spread DHF. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ajidm/3/1/3/ajidm-3-1-3.pdf transovarial phyotelmata DHF Aedes albopictus
