Abstract
The aftermath of the flood catastrophe in December 2014 has set up Kelantan as a potential hotbed for mosquito vector distribution and the diseases associated with it. Standing water and poor hygiene practice after flood could provide expansion of mosquito breeding ground, especially Aedes mosquitoes, thus amplifying arbovirus transmission associated with Aedes.
