- - Dengue fever is a major mosquito-borne disease in Cambodia, with no specific vaccine or treatment available, making vector control essential for prevention; this study reviews key aspects of mosquito species related to dengue transmission in the country.
- - A systematic literature search identified 70 relevant studies, including unpublished research from 2017-2023, focusing on the biology and ecology of the dengue vector species, particularly Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus, which are the primary carriers of the virus.
- - Eleven Aedes mosquito species were found in Cambodia; Aedes aegypti thrives in urban areas, while Aedes albopictus prefers forest and rural settings; both are influenced by weather patterns and are most active
