Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is a viral disease that threatened community health in Indonesia. As part of an eradication program, it is important to learn the behavioral aspect of the disease vector. The aims of this study were to detect the presence of dengue virus in <em>Aedes</em> spp., at Bantarjati Village, Bogor City and to learn to bioecology of. <em>Aedes aegypti</em> (Linnaeus). Detection of dengue virus in <em>Aedes</em> spp. were done by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique that consist of two phase were synthesis phase and cDNA amplification and dengue virus serotipe characterization. The <em>Ae. aegypti</em> and <em>Ae. albopictus</em> (Skuse) mosquitoes were collected using the landing and resting moquito collection technique booth indoors and outdoors. The highest density of<em> Ae. aegypti</em> and <em>Ae. albopictus</em> were found in April and the peak activity was occurred at 10:00-11:00 am. Dengue virus was not detected in female mosquitoes <em>Aedes</em> spp.
