Mosquitoes pose a significant threat to global health, impacting over 40% of the world's population. Currently, a dearth of large-scale and long-term data on mosquito populations in China hinders related research and public health endeavors. In response, we meticulously compiled and analyzed existing studies to construct a comprehensive dataset illustrating the spatial variation of mosquito populations, density, and composition across mainland China. This dataset furnishes invaluable information to support further research on mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases on broader spatial and temporal scales. The primary aim of this research is to contribute to efforts aimed at controlling mosquito transmission and mosquito-borne diseases, ultimately enhancing human well-being.
蚊子对全球健康构成重大威胁,影响着全球40%以上的人口。目前,中国缺乏关于蚊子种群的大规模长期数据,这阻碍了相关研究和公共卫生工作。作为回应,我们精心汇编并分析了现有研究,以构建一个全面的数据集,说明中国大陆蚊子种群、密度和组成的空间变化。该数据集提供了宝贵的信息,以支持在更广泛的空间和时间尺度上对蚊子和蚊媒疾病进行进一步研究。这项研究的主要目的是为控制蚊子传播和蚊媒疾病的努力做出贡献,最终增进人类福祉。
