Ovitrap surveillance was conducted in methodically selected areas in Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia from June 2008 till December 2009 in order to identify insular sites with stable Aedes aegypti population. Eleven sites were surveyed in Bentong district, Pahang, and one of these locations (N3º33' E101º54') was found to have an ovitrap index of Ae. aegypti and Aedes albopictus ranging from 8%-47% and 37%-78% respectively, indicating that this site could be a high-risk area for dengue outbreak. Ae. aegypti larvae were found in both indoor and outdoor ovitraps (p>0.05) while significant difference between the populations of Ae. albopictus larvae from indoors and outdoors was observed (p<0.01). Data collected in this study could provide important entomological information for designing an effective integrated vector control programme to combat Aedes mosquitoes in this area.
2008年6月至2009年12月期间,在马来西亚彭亨州文冬经过系统选定的区域开展了诱蚊产卵器监测,以确定埃及伊蚊种群稳定的岛屿地点。在彭亨州文冬区对11个地点进行了调查,其中一个地点(北纬3°33′,东经101°54′)的埃及伊蚊和白纹伊蚊诱蚊产卵器指数分别为8%-47%和37%-78%,表明该地点可能是登革热爆发的高风险区域。在室内和室外诱蚊产卵器中均发现了埃及伊蚊幼虫(p>0.05),而室内和室外白纹伊蚊幼虫数量存在显著差异(p<0.01)。本研究收集的数据可为设计有效的综合病媒控制方案提供重要的昆虫学信息,以防治该地区的伊蚊。
