The German cockroach (Blattella germanica) is the most widely distributed species of Blattaria, and closely related to human household activities. As a exotic species that invaded China in the early 1980s, it has now become predominate pest in urban environment in China. This paper analyzes the causes for B. germanica to become a predominant population of cockroach in cities of China from the perspectives of biological, economic and environmental factors, and discusses the management strategy of urban populations.
Objective To observe the killing effects of 0.05% diphacinone sodium in the form of wax-coated poison bait corn granules, wax-coated poison bait wheat granules, or wax-coated poison bait mixed granules on Rattus norvegicus and Mus musculus in rooms. Methods A total of 760 rooms (around 15 m2 every room) were selected from the area with centralized residence in Zhangma Village, Jinan, China; wax-coated poison bait mixed granules were placed in 249 rooms, wax-coated poison bait corn granules were placed in 267 rooms, and wax-coated poison bait wheat granules were placed in 244 rooms. In each room, 3 piles of wax-coated poison bait (10 g/pile) were placed for 4 d, and observation was performed for 26 d. The killing effect of wax-coated poison bait was evaluated by grid/plate method (S400). Results The killing rates of wax-coated poison bait mixed granules and wax-coated poison bait corn granules were 97.45% vs. 92.44% (u=5.22, P<0.01) for R. norvegicus and were 100% vs. 99.47% (u=1.46, P>0.05) for M. musculus. The killing rates of wax-coated poison bait mixed granules and wax-coated poison bait wheat granules were 97.45% vs. 96.59% (u=1.19, P>0.05) for R. norvegicus and were both 100% for M. musculus. Conclusion Wax-coated poison bait has good killing effects on R. norvegicus and M. musculus. Wax-coated poison bait mixed granules, which are composed of wax-coated poison bait corn granules and wax-coated poison bait wheat granules at a ratio of 7:3, have a better killing effect on R. norvegicus than wax-coated poison bait corn granules.

Objective To observe the role of ecological approaches to deratization in keeping the rat density in large hotels as low as possible, providing a scientific basis for future deratization. Methods First, 0.005% bromadiolone corn poison bait was laid out for 6 consecutive days in the four large hotels with similar environmental conditions and serious rodent damage. And then the 4 hotels were randomly divided into two groups, of which ecological approaches to deratization were followed in one, with the other used as the control group. S-100 method was used to evaluate the deratization effect by the deratization rate based on the difference in the rodent density between the 2 groups within 6 months. Results The deratization rate of 0.005% bromadiolone corn poison bait for the 4 hotels was 96.92%, 97.06%, 96.82% and 97.53%, respectively, with the overall deratization rate being 97.12% within the 6 months. By the end of the observation, the rat density of the 2 hotels in the test group increased only by 2.97 compared with that at the time when corn poison bait deratization was completed, while the density of the 2 hotels in the control group increased by 34.34 in the same period of time with a difference of 31.37 between the two groups(u=22.24, P<0.01). Conclusion The deratization effect with poison bait followed by ecological approaches is a highly effective means for safe deratization and prolonged maintenance of the state.
Objective To examine vectors and related disease surveillance, and improve the ability to prevent and control related infectious diseases. To integrate existing vectors-related disease surveillance and vector population density surveillance into a comprehensive monitoring mode, in order to achieve sharing and rational allocation of public health resources. Methods Four levels of comprehensive monitoring mechanisms were explored: 1) Pdisease control and prevention; 2) Municipal disease control and prevention; 3) County-level disease control and prevention; and 4) Disease control and prevention in special large- scale enterprises. Results A total of 89 Haemaphysalis longicornis, Dermacentor silvarum and Rhipicephalus sanguineus were captured during emergency monitoring. A total of 2000 Culex pipiens pallens, Cx. tritaeniorhynchus, Anopheles sinensis and Aedes albopictus were also collected. Routine comprehensive monitoring captured 42 766 mosquitoes, including 30 871 Cx. pipiens pallens, 10 211 Cx. tritaeniorhynchus, 1322 An. sinensis, 89 Ae. albopictus, and 273 other mosquito species, accounting for 72.18%, 23.88%, 3.09%, 0.21%, 0.64%, respectively. Three hundred twenty-one mice were captured at the monitoring spots with a capture rate of 2.03%, including 131 Rattus norvegicus, 118 Mus musculus, 64 R. rattus, and 8 Apodemus agrarius, accounting for 40.81%, 36.76%, 19.94% and 2.49%, respectively. R. rattus were only caught in Jiaonan. Pathogenic surveillance during emergency monitoring found two ticks positive for pathogens and no positive mosquitoes. Specimens from conventional comprehensive monitoring were sent to the national Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Conclusion A comprehensive monitoring mechanism integrating vector-borne disease surveillance and population density monitoring could achieve the sharing of epidemic information, vectors and Results of pathogen detection. This integration would have great significance to the prediction and early warming of vector-borne disease epidemics.
Objective To compare the efficacy of light and CO2 trapping lamps in laboratory and field settings. Methods The Methods of CO2 trapping lamp and light trapping lamp were used in this study. Results The two trapping lamps were both effective in attracting mosquitoes. The capture rates were 45.33% for light lamps and 71.67% for CO2 lamps in the laboratory, and the captured mosquito density was 10.56/lamp·hour and 20.43/lamp·hour, respectively. Culex pipiens pallens, Anopheles sinensis and Aedes albopictus were collected with a female-to-male ratio of 0.88∶1 and 4.57∶1 using the two methods, respectively.

Objective To evaluate alluring effects of monitoring devices on spawning mosquitoes under simulated and field settings. Methods Alluring effects were recorded for 12 h (overnight) in laboratory stimulated and field environments with ecological water (from the field habitats) and dechlorinated tap water as the baits. Results In the stimulated scenario, the trapping rate was 56.5% for female mosquitoes, and in a 50/50 subject group 40.0% and 4.0% for female and male mosquitoes, respectively. In the field, obvious alluring effects were noted in buildings and crowded areas, as well as remarkable selective trapping effects on female mosquiotes in grassy and sparsely populated areas (t=4.916, P<0.05). The trapping effect of ecological water was better than dechlorinated tap water. Conclusion The alluring effect of monitoring devices on spawning mosquitoes was observed in both the stimulated and field setting. The selective trapping effect on female mosquiotoes in the field was dependent on habitat, meteorological
Objective To get an insight into the resistance mechanisms of Musca domestica to beta-cypermethrin so that a theoretical basis was provided for the selection of a rapid and accurate monitoring technique and for the scientific use of insecticides. Methods The glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX) activities of three strains of M. domestica cultured in laboratory, the beta-cypermethrin resistant strains, the resistance decay strains and the sensitive strains was detected by SDS-PAGE analysis to evaluate the role of the peroxisome in the development of M. domestica resistance. Results It was found that GSH-PX activity of the resistant M. domestica increased significantly with a relative activity of 165.89% in contrast with the activity of the enzyme that decreased to 70.13% in the resistance decay strains. Significant differences were visualized in 6 bands of the electrophoresis pattern of the 3 strains. Conclusion The change in the peroxidase activity in M. domestica strains resistant to beta-cypermethrin may play an important role in the development of M. domestica resistance.

Conclusion The lower concentration of lambda?cyhalothrin has obvious induction to SOD and GPX, and the increase of SOD and GPX activity has the relationship to the resistance and tolerance of cockroach to lambda?cyhalothrin.
【Abstract】 Objective To compare the characteristics of mosquito communities structure at different altitude of Mengshan mountains Methods The mosquito communities structure at different altitude of Mengshan mountains were compared and analyzed with the indexes of substance content of biota(SCB), species abundance and diversity(SAD), probability of interspecific encounter(PIE), community uniformiry(CU), biomass (BM) and species density(SD), and the relativity of mosquito communities comparability index was performed. Results A total of 2013 mosquitoes were colleted. Of which, a sum of 1724 mosquitoes were collected within 200-300 m, accounting for 85%. There were 257 mosquitoes at 700-800 m, accounting for 13%, and only 32 mosquitoes at 1156 m which was the top of the mountain, accounting for 2%. The six index mentioned above were 13, 0.345, 0.272, 0.310, 1.20, and 1724 at 200-300 m, 12, 0.417, 0.443, 0.417, 0.18, and 257 at 700-800 m, and 9, 0.677, 0.845, 0.750, 0.06 and 32 at 1156 m. The comparability index between 700-800 m and 1156 m was higher with the value of 0.3625, following with the indexes between 700-800 m and 200-300 m which the values were all 0.1852. And it was the lowest between 1156 m and 200-300 m with the value of 0.1452. The results showed that the distance was nearer, the comparability was bigger, according with the practical investigation results. Conclusion There was distinct difference among the mosquitoes communities diversity at the different altitude. The SCB, BM and SD of mosquito communities in higher altitude were lower than those in lower altitude. But the CU, SAD and PIE of mosquito communities in higher altitude were higher than those in lower altitude. Furthermore, the distance of habitats was nearer, the community structures were more similar, and vice versa. The biological diversity was of great importance to study community structure of mosquitoes.
