This study examines the relationship between container types and the abundance of mosquito larvae, emphasizing the influence of material and container characteristics on breeding patterns. The spatial analysis revealed distinct preferences for container types across surveyed areas, with earthen containers predominating within a 1 km radius and plastic containers being more significant in the Supatta Resort and Pa Sak Jolasid Dam areas. Larval indices highlighted a heightened risk of dengue transmission, providing vital data for public health planning and mosquito control strategies. Practical recommendations include promoting specific container usage, encouraging lid implementation, and incorporating environmental factors into intervention strategies. While acknowledging limitations such as regional focus and exclusion of certain larval stages, the study advocates for expanded research across different regions and ecological contexts. These findings offer valuable insights for mitigating mosquito-borne diseases.
