Abstract

To understand the population, density, seasonal fluctuation and nocturnal pattern of malaria vectors in Jiangsu Province, thus to provide evidences for malaria elimination in this province. Seven counties (cities, districts) were selected as the monitoring sites for malaria vectors in Jiangsu Province from 2013 to 2015. The mosquitoes were captured by human bait trapping in bed nets and mosquito-lured lamp overnight, and the seasonal fluctuation and nocturnal pattern of malaria vectors were observed. A total of 11 041 Anopheles sinensis mosquitoes were captured by the mosquito-lured lamps in 7 counties of Jiangsu Province from 2013 to 2015, and no An. anthropophagous was found. Among all the 7 monitoring sites, the number of An. sinensis captured in Sihong County was the most (6 742 mosquitoes), while that in Xuyu County was the least (34 mosquitoes). During this period, the density peaks of An. sinensis were the first half of July, the first half of August and the second half of July. A total of 2 421 An. sinensis were collected in 7 monitoring sites from 2013 to 2015 by human bait trapping in bed nets overnight. Among all the 7 monitoring sites, the captured number of An. sinensis in Sihong County was the most (1 085 mosquito...Continue Reading
