The Northern Territory (NT) of Australia is currently free of the dengue mosquito Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (L). However, on 17 February 2004, two Ae. aegypti adults were captured in two routine CO -baited encephalitis virus surveillance traps in Tennant Creek, located 990 km south of Darwin in the NT. The detection triggered an immediate survey and control response undertaken by the NT Department of Health and Community Services, followed by a Commonwealth of Australia-funded Ae. aegypti elimination program. This report details the methods and results of the detection and subsequent elimination activities that were carried out between 2004 and 2006, returning the NT to its dengue vector-free status. There have been very few successful Ae. aegypti elimination programs in the world. This purposeful mosquito elimination for Australia was officially declared on 5 April 2006.
澳大利亚北领地（NT）目前没有登革热蚊埃及伊蚊（Stegomyia）aegypti（L）。然而，2004 年 2 月 17 日，在位于达尔文以南 990 公里的 NT 地区的 Tennant Creek，两个常规 CO 诱捕脑炎病毒监测陷阱中捕获了两只成年埃及伊蚊。这一发现引发了北领地卫生和社区服务部的立即调查和控制反应，随后澳大利亚联邦政府资助了一项埃及伊蚊消灭计划。本报告详细介绍了 2004 年至 2006 年间进行的检测和随后的消灭活动的方法和结果，使北领地恢复了无登革热媒介的状态。世界上很少有成功的埃及伊蚊消灭计划。2006 年 4 月 5 日，澳大利亚有目的地消灭蚊子的行动正式宣布。
