Abstract: Objective To master the basic theoretical knowledge, on-site disposal, and comprehensive analysis capabilities of practitioners in vector control services in Zhejiang province, China, and to provide a decision-making basis for improving training strategies. Methods Based on a vector control skills competition organized by the Zhejiang Provincial Association for Elimination of the Four Pests with the participation of 45 technicians from 15 AAA-level members of the association, the contestants' mastery of control knowledge was analyzed, and differences in scores between different question types, regions, vector species, and knowledge categories were analyzed. SPSS 17.0 software was used for difference comparison and variance analysis. Results After standardized by a 100-point conversion, the average score of all contestants was 51.15 points, with the highest score of 72.00 points and the lowest score of 27.83 points. According to three different rounds of discriminatory judgment questions, field practical questions, and comprehensive analysis questions, the scores in the first round showed significant differences from those in the second round (F=9.789, P=0.003) and in the third round (F=11.768, P=0.001). There were no significant differences in scores between different regions (F=0.310, P=0.735). In the analysis of vector species, the scoring rates in the knowledge about rodents, mosquitoes, multiple vectors, and cockroaches decreased in turn. Except for mosquitoes and rats, cockroaches and multiple vectors, there were statistically significant differences between the scores of other vectors (all P<0.5). In the analysis of 7 knowledge categories, the contestants' mastery of basic knowledge and organizational management knowledge was significantly higher than that of 5 other knowledge categories such as insect species identification and on-site disposal (all P<0.5). Conclusion Practitioners in vector control services in Zhejiang province have overall low professional skills, insufficient coverage of knowledge categories, uneven mastery level, and weak spots in some knowledge categories, especially the identification of insect species, on-site disposal, and monitoring and evaluation. It is necessary to do a good job in training the basic knowledge of practitioners in a targeted manner, and to highlight the training of skills such as on-site practical operation and comprehensive analysis.
