对媒介蚊子的监测对于预防和控制蚊媒疾病至关重要。在这项研究中,我们开发了一个基于互联网的媒介蚊子监测仪,MS-300,并评估了其捕获重要媒介蚊子的效率,白纹伊蚊和库蚊,在实验室和现场试验中。
成人Ae的线性大小。白纹和CX。测量了quinquefasciatus,并根据这些数据设计了红外窗口。开发了一种专门吸引这两个物种并自动将捕获的蚊子数量传输到互联网的设备。在实验室中测试了该设备捕获这两种物种的效率,半现场和开放现场试验。MS-300用于捕获和识别Ae的效率结果。实验室蚊帐网箱中的白纹目分别为98.5%和99.3%,以及95.8%和98.6%,分别,对于CX。Quinquefasciatus.在半现场试验中,MS-300具有诱捕Ae的效率。白纹和CX。quinquefasciatus分别为54.2%和51.3%,分别,显著高于无引诱的4%和4.2%。实时监测数据显示了Ae的两个每日活动峰值。白纹(8:00-10:00和17:00-19:00),和一个Cx的峰值。Quinquefasciatus(20:00-24:00).在为期98天的现场监视试验中,总计1,118Ae。白纹和2,302Cx。MS-300捕获了quinquefasciatus。捕获的蚊虫数量与野外温度有密切的相关性,以及使用MS-300,BioGentsSentinel陷阱和人类着陆捕获的蚊子中捕获的样品的物种组成呈正相关。
数据支持MS-300可以特异性和有效地捕获Ae的结论。白纹和CX。Quinquefasciatus,并实时自动监控它们的密度。因此,MS-300有可能用作预防和控制媒介蚊子的监视工具。
The surveillance of vector mosquitoes is essential for prevention and control of mosquito-borne diseases. In this study, we developed an internet-based vector mosquito monitor, MS-300, and evaluated its efficiency for the capture of the important vector mosquitoes, Aedes albopictus and Culex quinquefasciatus, in laboratory and field trials.
The linear sizes of adult Ae. albopictus and Cx. quinquefasciatus were measured and an infrared window was designed based on these data. A device to specifically attract these two species and automatically transmit the number of captured mosquitoes to the internet was developed. The efficiency of the device in capturing the two species was tested in laboratory, semi-field and open field trials. The efficiency results for MS-300 for catching and identifying Ae. albopictus in laboratory mosquito-net cages were 98.5% and 99.3%, and 95.8% and 98.6%, respectively, for Cx. quinquefasciatus. In a wire-gauze screened house in semi-field trials, the efficiencies of MS-300 baited with a lure in catching Ae. albopictus and Cx. quinquefasciatus were 54.2% and 51.3%, respectively, which were significantly higher than 4% and 4.2% without the lure. The real-time monitoring data revealed two daily activity peaks for Ae. albopictus (8:00-10:00 and 17:00-19:00), and one peak for Cx. quinquefasciatus (20:00-24:00). During a 98-day surveillance trial in the field, totals of 1,118 Ae. albopictus and 2,302 Cx. quinquefasciatus were captured by MS-300. There is a close correlation between the number of captured mosquitoes and the temperature in the field, and a positive correlation in the species composition of the captured samples among the mosquitoes using MS-300, BioGents Sentinel traps and human landing catches.
The data support the conclusion that MS-300 can specifically and efficiently capture Ae. albopictus and Cx. quinquefasciatus, and monitor their density automatically in real-time. Therefore, MS-300 has potential for use as a surveillance tool for prevention and control of vector mosquitoes.
