Fifty-seven (17.3%) of 330 incoming aircraft landing at Changi International Airport were found to harbour mosquitoes and other insects on board. The frequency of insects detected in aircraft from the Southeast Asian countries varied from 7.1% to 32.2%. Live insects were found in 5 (6.1%) of 82 aircraft disinsectized by the "block away" method. The species of mosquitoes brought in were: Culex quinquefasciatus (96), Culex tritaeniorhynchus (1), Aedes albopictus (2) and Aedes aegypti (1). None of the 51 female Culex quinquefasciatus dissected was found to be infected with microfilariae. They key to the prevention of introduction of exotic vectors and transmission of vector- borne diseases is to continue with the existing system of vector surveillance and control at the international airport, rather than routine disinsecting of aircraft landing in Singapore.
在樟宜国际机场降落的330架入境飞机中，有57架（17.3%）被发现机上藏有蚊子和其他昆虫。从东南亚国家飞来的飞机上检测到昆虫的频率在7.1%至32.2%之间。在采用“隔离”法进行灭虫处理的82架飞机中，有5架（6.1%）发现有活昆虫。所带入的蚊子种类有：致倦库蚊（96只）、三带喙库蚊（1只）、白纹伊蚊（2只）和埃及伊蚊（1只）。解剖的51只雌性致倦库蚊均未发现感染微丝蚴。预防引入外来病媒和传播病媒传播疾病的关键在于继续维持国际机场现有的病媒监测和控制体系，而非对降落在新加坡的飞机进行常规灭虫处理。
