Objective To assess the economic burden of dengue fever in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, China, 2018, and to provide a certain quantitative basis for the health administrative institution to formulate relevant prevention and control strategies. Methods Forty new cases of dengue fever were selected who were isolated and treated in a grade A tertiary hospital of Ningbo. Their information such as hospitalization process, treatment costs, indirect costs, and medical insurance reimbursement rate were collected to estimate the economic burden of dengue fever. Results The median length of hospitalization of the 40 cases was 8 (6-9) days. The economic burden of dengue fever was 3 718.16 (2 453.19-5 536.46) yuan per capita, with the direct economic burden of disease of 2 253.75 (767.16-3 606.54) yuan and the indirect economic burden of disease of 1 701.36 (1 432.72-1 813.29) yuan, indicating that the direct economic burden accounted for a large proportion. The total economic burden was about 260.30 (171.70-387.60) thousand yuan, with the direct economic burden of disease of 157.8 thousand yuan and the indirect economic burden of disease of 119.10 thousand yuan. Of the 40 dengue fever cases, 72.50% participated in medical insurance. The medical insurance reimbursement rate was negatively correlated with the direct medical economic burden, the direct economic burden of disease, and the economic burden of disease; the direct medical economic burden decreased as the reimbursement rate increased (P<0.05). Conclusion The economic burden of dengue fever in Ningbo is relatively high, the participation rate in medical insurance should be further increased to reduce the direct medical economic burden of patients.

Objective The discharge dynamic models of Gasterophilus spp. larvae were established by fitting the number of larvaeshedding from the equids after taking ivermectin. According to the models, the peaks of larvae discharge were predicted, which could help the collection of fresh maggots. Methods Three domestic horses and three Przewalski's horses were randomly selected and were kept in small enclosures separately. Maggots of each animal was harvested per unit time after taking ivermectin, the average rates of discharge larvae were calculated for both domestic and Przewalski's horses. Quadratic, Compound and Cubic models were used to fit the dynamics of larvae discharge. Results Among the three fitting models, the Cubic models were the best models to fit the discharge rate of the larvae (domestic horses:adjusted R²=0.837; Przewalski's horses:adjusted R²=0.940). The regression equations of the dynamic fitting of domestic and Przewalski's horses were:Y_d=-1.302 766+0.075 436t-0.001 177t²+0.000 006t³ (27.6 ≤ t ≤ 87.9), Y_p=-1.178 999+0.071 902t-0.001 157t²+0.000 006t³ (25.7 ≤ t ≤ 84.7). According to the regression equations, the peak values of domestic and Przewalski's horses were 49.0 h and 47.1 h. Conclusion The efficacy was not related to the equine species and infection intensity of Gasterophilus spp. larvae. The regression equation quantified the early observations, the conclusion could help to improve the collection efficiency and obtain fresh maggot samples, which laid a foundation for further study.

Objective A parasitological survey was conducted in wild and captive populations of Equus przewalskii with treatment of antiparasitics to investigate the infection, diversity and parasitic characteristics of Gasterophilus spp. in E. przewalskii which lives in different conditions. Methods Gasterophilus spp. larvae were collected and counted from the random fecal samples of E. przewalskii populations and all the fecal samples of E. przewalskii individuals after antiparasitic treatment in January 2015. Results There was a statistically significant difference in the mean number of Gasterophilus spp. larvae at the peak of larvae expelled between wild and captive populations (140.8±62.8 and 1.8±0.9, respectively) (u=-4.997, P=0.000). Larval burdens of captive population were reduced by establishing isolated zone and providing special forage grasses. A total of 5 357 larvae were collected from wild population, which were identified as the following 5 species of Gasterophilus spp.: G. pecorum, G. nasalis, G. nigricornis, G. intestinalis and G. haemorrhoidalis. Gasterophilus pecorum (96.84%) was the predominant species in the wild population. In total 83 larvae were collected from captive population, and 5 species of Gasterophilus spp. were identified as follows: G. intestinalis, G. haemorrhoidalis, G. nasalis, G. nigricornis, and G. inermis. The prevailing species were G. intestinalis (48.19%) and G. haemorrhoidalis (39.76%). There was an obvious difference between wild and captive population in species composition of Gasterophilus. Shannon-Wiener index of Gasterophilus spp. was 1.07 in the captive population, significantly higher than the wild one(0.17). The evenness index of Gasterophilus spp. was higher in the captive population (0.66) similarly, while it was 0.10 in the wild population. The results shown a striking difference of Gasterophilus spp. diversity between wild and captive populations, while the latter was rigorous infected by horse gastrointestinal myiasis. Gasterophilus pecorum was the predominant species in the wild population while it was absent in the captive population, which indicated that unique transmission cycle with grass was intyerrupted. Conclusion Equus przewalskii populations in different living environments have distinctly different infective charsacteristics of Gasterophilus spp., G. pecorum has extremely strong adaptability to the desert steppe.

Objective To investigate the species composition, diversity and prevalence of the infection of Gasterophilus botfly larvae in horses from Duolun county, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Methods Adult horses were treatedorally using ivermectin, the botfly larvae were collected from the feces and identified. Results Six species in the genus Gasterophilus were collected from each individual horse and with the following prevalence: G. intestinalis 53.04%, G. nasalis 24.00%, G. haemorrhoidalis 10.61%, G. pecorum 6.96%, G. nigricornis 3.13%, G. inermis 2.26%. Conclusion The species of Gasterophilus in Duolun county are abundant, and the horse gastric myiasis is prevalent in this area.

Objective In order to understand in vitro development rules of Gasterophilus pecorum and lay the foundation for further study of this myiasis. Methods Collected the mature larvae of G. pecorum from Przewalaski's Horse in April 2014, cultured pupae under the natural varying temperature. Record the average temperature of development and developmental duration, the developmental threshold temperature and effective accumulated temperature for pupae of G. pecorum were determined by using rule of effective temperature summation“least square method”. Results (1) The developmental threshold temperature had a range of (10.58± 0.64)℃ and the effective accumulated temperature had a range of (190.95 ± 24.85) d·℃; (2) Unary linear regression equation was established between the developmental temperature and developmental rate: (V=-0.0541 + 0.0052T). The linear regression analysis showed a significant relationship between the developmental temperature and developmental rate (r₂=0.923, P=0.001); (3) The development duration prediction for pupae of G. pecorum was established: N=(190.95± 24.85)/[T-(10.58± 0.64)]. Conclusion Through the investigation of local temperature, the development duration prediction for pupae of G. pecorum was applied to predict the adult emergence period of G. pecorum. Combined with the larvae investigation of G. pecorum can provides effective scientific basis for predict adult occurrence dynamics of G. pecorum.

A pair of pit sensilla were observed on the oral groove, and each labial organ was equipped with a big coeloconic sensillum and a pit sensillum. Conclusion The new morphological characteristics of the larvae of Calliphoridae, such as the pit sensillum on labial organ and the small coeloconic sensilla on maxillary palp, are discovered. The small coeloconic sensilla can be used as a morphological characteristic for identification of the second-instar larvae of L. sericata.

Objective To investigate the susceptibility of Blattella germanica to five commonly used insecticides, beta-cypermethrin, chlorpyrifos, acephate, propoxur, and deltamethrin, in Fengtai district of Beijing, China, and to provide a scientific basis for proper use of insecticides. Methods A large number of adult B. germanica individuals were collected in a farmer's market in Fengtai district to obtain the first filial generation for testing in the laboratory. The insecticide film contact method, as recommended by the WHO, was used to determine the susceptibility of B. germanica to commonly used insecticides, and the median knockdown time (KT₅₀) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (95%CI), knockdown rate, and mortality of B. germanica were used for estimating the resistance levels to commonly used insecticides. Results The mean resistance coefficients (R/S) of B. germanica to beta-cypermethrin, chlorpyrifos, acephate, propoxur, and deltamethrin were 7.91, 2.06, 2.79, 4.56, and 30.52, respectively, and the five commonly used insecticides had the rates of decrease in lethal effect within 24 hours at 100%, 13.33%, 20.00%, 73.33%, and 90.00%, respectively. Conclusion B. germanica in Fengtai district of Beijing have developed high resistance to deltamethrin and beta-cypermethrin, but its resistance to organophosphorus and carbamate insecticides such as chlorpyrifos and propoxur is relatively low, which may be due to the differences in the frequency and way of insecticide use.
