Abstract

Objective To explore the status of mosquito infestation in the underground garages of residential areas in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, China, and to analyze the causes and suitable countermeasures. Methods The mosquito trap lamp and mosquito-oviposition trap were used to monitor mosquitoes in the underground garages of residential areas from April 2017 to March 2018, and the mosquito breeding sites in the garages were also investigated. The differences of mosquito density and mosquito ovitrap index (MOI) in garages of different sizes and types of enclosures were compared by Kruskal-Waillis test with multiple independent samples and Mann-Whitney U test with two independent samples, respectively. Results A total of 12 583 mosquitoes were captured in 68 underground garages, of which 82.40% (10 368/12 583) were females and 17.60% (2 215/12 583) were males. Culex pipiens pallens and Cx. pipiens quinquefasciatus were the dominant species, accounting for 65.25% (8 210/12 583) and 33.93% (4 270/12 583), respectively. The seasonal fluctuation of overall mosquito density showed a unimodal trend, reaching its peak in August. Medium and small garages had a significantly higher overall mosquito density than ultra-large and large garages (χ2=66.999, P<0.001). Semi-buried garages had a significantly higher mosquito density than fully buried garages (Z=-8.185, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in MOI between garages of different sizes (χ2=2.158, P=0.381). Semi-buried garages had a significantly higher MOI than fully buried garages (Z=4.007, P=0.001). The positive mosquito infestation garages accounted for 79.41% (54/68) of the total survey, and the positive rate of breeding sites was 23.36% (64/274). Conclusion Mosquito breeding and infestation in the underground garages of residential areas in Jiaxing were obvious, which should be concerned by relevant departments. In terms of prevention and control measures, it is necessary to focus on controlling mosquito breeding sites in underground garages, and to establish a long-term prevention and control mechanism.
