• There were 330 dengue incidence with a deathincidence with a death rate of 0.30 at Sisaket in 2008
• Since 1st January -31th July 2010, there were 1,200 dengue incidences which was ranked fourth dengue incidence rate indengue incidence rate in northeastern region. (Ministry of Health: online 2010).

AAt urban areat urban area, there were two genus of mosquitoes:
d d lAedes spp. and Culex spp. For Aedes, there were Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus .aegypti and Aedes albopictus .AAt rural areat rural area, there were three genus of mosquitoes: g qAedes spp., Culex spp. and Anopheles spp. This indicates that rural areas might be morethat rural areas might be more malaria risk than urban area.

Figure 7. a) The relationship of the number of rainy days d h b f A i l
b) The relationship of the number of rainy days d th b f d i idand the number of Ae. aegypti larvae. and the number of dengue incidences.
As the number of rainy days increased, the number of Ae. aegypti and the number of dengue incidences increased (Figure 7a,b). This strongly indicated that climatic factors (in this case, the number of rainy days) strongly influences the number of mosquito larvae. The increases in the number of mosquito larvae will increase the chance of dengue vectors to transmit the dengue virus at a higher rate. Moreover, during rainy days, people tend to stay inside their houses which may also increase the chance of being bitten by Ae. aegypti females. As we already know that Ae. aegypti tends to stay inside the house and lays their eggs in the indoor water containers.
