for the outbreak in Lashio in the northern part of Shan
State in 1975, all outbreak occurred in areas
were A. aegypti breeds(13). In 1975 it was reported
that A. aegypti did not greed in places above
an altitude of 2700 feet above sea level. An entomological
survey carried out in June 1977 in Loikow, the capital
of Kayah State, situated at 1938 feet above sea level,
showed A. aegypti breeding on the outskirts of
the town with A. albopictus inside the town.
Although the 1975 outbreak of DHF in Lashio was not
severe, evidence was obtained that DHF could occur through
transmission by A. albopictus.
