Effect analysis on comprehensive community mosquito control in Putuo District

ObjectiveThis study was designed to compare efficacy between comprehensive mosquito control project and simple chemical control project to establish a program which could diminish the density of mosquito effectively.

MethodsThe comprehensive mosquito control included clearing larval habitats, using larval insecticides scientifically, and disseminating knowledge of mosquito control, which could reduce mosquito density effectively in community.

ResultsAfter the comprehensive mosquito control, the positive rate of household water containers in community which was 5.04% (control group was 14.50%)(χ²=17.11, P < 0.01), the positive rate of site outside was 4.74% (control group was 14.85%) (χ²=19.81, P < 0.01)and adult mosquito density monitoring index was 3.63(control group was 5.92), that were all lower than indexes in community after simple chemical control.In addition, the landing index and residents′ satisfaction with mosquito control project were better than simple chemical mosquito control program.

ConclusionThe density of mosquito could be reduced effectively by comprehensive mosquito control program, thereby reducing the prevalence of mosquito-borne diseases, such as dengue fever, and epidemic incidence.
