Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of health education in the chemical control of rodents, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating effective rodent control measures in Nanjing, Jiangsu province, China. Methods Shangcheng and Chanlin villages in Gaochun district, Nanjing, China were selected as intervention group (bait stations combined with health education for rodent control) and control group (bait stations alone for rodent control), respectively. The changes in farmers' awareness about rodents, bait consumption, and rodent densities in the two villages from March to December 2021 were analyzed to compare the effects of health education intervention on chemical control of rodents. Results Among 31 participants in Shangcheng village, the numbers of farmers with an awareness of general knowledge about rodents, rodent-borne diseases, control measures, and behaviors before and after health education were 22 versus 29 (χ2=5.415,P=0.043), 17 versus 25 (χ2=4.724, P=0.030), and 14 versus 23 (χ2=5.429, P=0.020), respectively, all showing statistically significant increases after health education except for knowledge about control measures. Before health education, the rodent capture rates (three times) in Shangcheng village were 3.00%, 2.22%, and 2.52%, respectively, while the capture rates in Chanlin village were 1.72%, 2.16%, and 2.45%, respectively, with no statistically significant difference between the two villages (χ2=0.344, P=0.557). The capture rates in Shangcheng village (0.41%, 2.12%, and 0.85%, respectively) after health education, and those in Chanlin village (2.09%, 1.82%, and 3.93%, respectively) at the same time showed a statistically significant difference (χ2=4.409,P=0.036). The capture rate of Shangcheng village was statistically decreased by 56.37% after health education (χ2=4.139, P=0.048), while no statistically significant change was observed in that of Chanlin village at the same time (χ2=0.384, P=0.599). Rodents' average daily bait consumption peaked in mid-April and mid-November, and generally, it was higher in Shangcheng village than in Chanlin village. Conclusion Chemical control combined with health education is more effective for rodent control than chemical control alone in rural areas.

摘要: 目的 分析健康教育在鼠类化学防治过程中的作用,为制定有效灭鼠防控措施提供科学依据。方法 选择南京市高淳区上城村作为实验组,实施健康教育联合毒饵站灭鼠,南京市高淳区禅林村作为对照组,实施单独毒饵站灭鼠措施,分析2个自然村2021年3-12月农户关于鼠类认知情况变化、鼠盗食量、鼠密度变化,比较健康教育干预前后对鼠类化学防治效果的影响。结果 上城村31人在健康教育前,对鼠类一般知识、疾病传播和行为认知方面了解的分别为22、17和14人,健康教育后,人数分别达到29、25和23人,差异有统计学意义(χ2=5.415,P=0.043;χ2=4.724,P=0.030;χ2=5.429,P=0.020)。健康教育前,上城村3次鼠捕获率分别是3.00%、2.22%和2.52%,禅林村分别为1.72%、2.16%和2.45%,差异无统计学意义(χ2=0.344,P=0.557);健康教育后,上城村3次鼠捕获率分别是0.41%、2.12%和0.85%,禅林村在同一时间分别为2.09%、1.82%和3.93%,差异有统计学意义(χ2=4.409,P=0.036)。上城村健康教育后较健康教育前的鼠捕获率呈显著降低趋势,降幅达56.37%,差异有统计学意义(χ2=4.139,P=0.048),禅林村在相同时间鼠捕获率无明显变化(χ2=0.384,P=0.599)。鼠日平均盗食量有2个高峰期,分别是4月中旬和11月中旬。总体上,上城村鼠日平均盗食量高于禅林村。结论 农村地区鼠类化学防治联合健康教育灭鼠效果优于单独使用化学防治措施。
