Abstract

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of the combined application of BG-Sentinel mosquito trap (BGS-trap) and grid management for dengue vector surveillance in dengue fever outbreak. Methods In 2015, in early stage of the study, two different adult mosquito elimination operations were launched in community A and community G of G town in Zhongshan city, community A received the combination of BGS-trap for dengue vector surveillance and grid management, while community G used the routine disinfection treatment and surveillance of BGS-trap, the results of these two models were compared at the end of the study. Results Community A was continuously monitored for 20 d, during which 278 Aedes mosquitoes were caught from 23 BGS-traps. The community G was continuously monitored for 13 d, 531 Aedes mosquitoes were collected from 8-9 BGS-traps. The results of wilcoxon rank-sum test showed that Aedes mosquito density of community G was higher than that of community A (Z=2.667, P=0.000). Conclusion The combined application of BGS-trap and grid management offered objective and timely assessment, which effectively supported the guidance of mosquito control and reduced the risk of dengue's spread. It is worthy of further promotion and application.
