We conducted this study to assess how well a pupal survey of dengue mosquito vectors, Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus, is able to target the most productive breeding sites. The study was carried out monthly during the rainy season (8 months) in 2008 in Cuba, Cebu City, Philippines. The hypotheses tested were: 1) most pupae of Ae. aegypti or Ae. albopictus were produced in a few types of breeding sites and 2) the most productive types of breeding sites for each species were the most abundant. Approximately 2,500 pupae were collected from 554 breeding sites in 279 houses. Thirty-eight point four percent of ten types of breeding sites were positive for Ae. aegypti, and 11.9% of nine types of sites were positive for Ae. albopictus. Plastic drums (40.2%), metal drums (29.6%), and plastic containers (10.5%) were the key sites for Ae. aegypti pupae, whereas bamboo stumps (28.5%), plastic drums (21.1%), and rubber tires (19.1%) were the key sites for Ae. albopictus. The most productive breeding sites for Ae. aegypti were common but not the most common for Ae. albopictus. These results are relevant for dengue vector control programs.
我们开展这项研究，以评估针对登革热蚊媒埃及伊蚊和白纹伊蚊的蛹调查，在定位最具繁殖力的孳生地方面的效果如何。该研究于2008年雨季期间（8个月）在菲律宾宿务市和古巴每月开展一次。所检验的假设为：1）埃及伊蚊或白纹伊蚊的大多数蛹产自少数几种类型的孳生地；2）每个物种最具繁殖力的孳生地类型也是数量最多的。从279所房屋的554个孳生地收集了约2500只蛹。十种类型的孳生地中有38.4%的孳生地埃及伊蚊呈阳性，九种类型的孳生地中有11.9%的孳生地白纹伊蚊呈阳性。塑料桶（40.2%）、金属桶（29.6%）和塑料容器（10.5%）是埃及伊蚊蛹的主要孳生地，而竹桩（28.5%）、塑料桶（21.1%）和橡胶轮胎（19.1%）是白纹伊蚊的主要孳生地。埃及伊蚊最具繁殖力的孳生地很常见，但对白纹伊蚊来说并非最常见。这些结果与登革热媒介控制项目相关。
