Malaria vectors control interventions are designed to cause immediate killing or shorten mosquito lives, therefore does not allow enough time for the development of the parasites to infective stage. The wall lining is new malaria vectors control intervention in Tanzania where its impact on age structure is not well known. Therefore this study aimed at determining the impact of non-pyrethroid durable wall lining on the age structure of malaria vectors.
Higher proportions of An. gambiae sensu lato (57.1%, z = 2.66, P = 0.0077) and An. funestus (64.8%, z = 3.38, P = 0.001) were collected in the control clusters. Unexpectedly, significantly higher proportion of parous An. gambiae s. l. were collected in the intervention clusters (z = - 2.78, P = 0.0054). The wall lining intervention has demonstrated low impact on age structure of An. gambiae s. l., this call for further studies on the efficacy of the intervention.
疟疾媒介控制干预措施旨在立即杀死蚊子或缩短其寿命，因此没有给疟原虫发育到感染阶段留出足够时间。墙壁衬里是坦桑尼亚一种新的疟疾媒介控制干预措施，其对年龄结构的影响尚不清楚。因此，本研究旨在确定非拟除虫菊酯耐用墙壁衬里对疟疾媒介年龄结构的影响。
在对照群组中收集到的冈比亚按蚊复合组（57.1%，z = 2.66，P = 0.0077）和嗜人按蚊（64.8%，z = 3.38，P = 0.001）比例更高。出乎意料的是，在干预群组中收集到的已产卵冈比亚按蚊复合组比例显著更高（z = -2.78，P = 0.0054）。墙壁衬里干预措施对冈比亚按蚊复合组的年龄结构影响较小，这需要对该干预措施的效果进行进一步研究。
