Abstract：
Many novel approaches to controlling mosquito vectors through the release of sterile and mass reared males are being developed in the face of increasing insecticide resistance and other limitations of current methods. Before full scale release programmes can be undertaken there is a need for surveillance of the target population, and investigation of parameters such as dispersal and longevity of released, as compared to wild males through mark-release-recapture (MRR) and other experiments, before small scale pilot trials can be conducted. The nature of the sites used for this field work is crucial to ensure that a trial can feasibly collect sufficient and relevant information, given the available resources and practical limitations, and having secured the correct regulatory, community and ethical approvals and support. Mauritius is considering the inclusion of the sterile insect technique (SIT), for population reduction of Aedes albopictus, as a component of the Ministry of Health and Quality of Life\'s \'Operational Plan for Prevention and Control of Chikungunya and Dengue\'. As part of an investigation into the feasibility of integrating the SIT into the Integrated Vector Management (IVM) scheme in Mauritius a pilot trial is planned. Two potential sites have been selected for this purpose, Pointe des Lascars and Panchvati, villages in the North East of the country, and population surveillance has commenced. This case study will here be used to explore the considerations which go into determining the most appropriate sites for mosquito field research. Although each situation is unique, and an ideal site may not be available, this discussion aims to help researchers to consider and balance the important factors and select field sites that will meet their needs.
摘要：
面对不断增加的杀虫剂抗性和当前方法的其他限制，正在开发许多通过释放不育和大量饲养的雄性来控制蚊子媒介的新方法。在进行全面释放计划之前，需要对目标人群进行监测，以及释放的扩散和寿命等参数的调查，通过标记释放再捕获（MRR）和其他实验与野生雄性相比，在可以进行小规模试点试验之前。用于该现场工作的站点的性质对于确保试验可以可行地收集足够和相关的信息至关重要，鉴于现有资源和实际限制，并确保了正确的监管，社区和道德的批准和支持。毛里求斯正在考虑纳入昆虫不育技术(SIT)，为了减少白纹伊蚊的数量，作为卫生和生活质量部的“基孔肯雅热和登革热预防和控制行动计划”的组成部分。作为对将SIT纳入毛里求斯综合病媒管理（IVM）计划的可行性进行调查的一部分，计划进行试点试验。为此目的选择了两个潜在的地点，PointedesLascars和Panchvati,这个国家东北部的村庄，人口监测已经开始。此案例研究将用于探索确定最适合蚊子野外研究地点的注意事项。虽然每种情况都是独特的，和一个理想的网站可能是不可用的，这次讨论旨在帮助研究人员考虑和平衡重要因素，并选择满足他们需求的现场地点。
