Objective To investigate the susceptibility of wild Anopheles sinensis to insecticides, including deltamethrin, beta-cyfluthrin, and malathion, in Zaoyang, Hubei province, China, and to provide a scientific basis for the local malaria vector control. Methods An. sinensis mosquitoes were captured from cowsheds in Zaoyang of Hubei province in both July 2019 and July 2021. The filter-paper bioassay recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) was used to determine the susceptibility of An. sinensis to deltamethrin, beta-cyfluthrin, and malathion. For each insecticide, the test procedures were repeated four times ( n≈25) in 2019 and six times ( n≈25) in 2021. During the measurement, the numbers of knocked down mosquitoes at 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 min were recorded. After 60 min of exposure, all tested adult An. sinensis mosquitoes were transferred to the holding tubes, and the mortality was recorded 24 h later. The insecticide resistance level was assessed based on the WHO criteria. Excel 2007 software was used for data collation. SPSS 17.0 software and the Chi-square test were used to analyze and compare the differences in 60 min knockdown rate between 2019 and 2021. Results The experimental groups of deltamethrin had 60 min knockdown rates of 2.00% in 2019 and 0 in 2021, with a statistical difference between them ( χ 2=9.800, P=0.007), and had 24 h mortality rates of 7.74% in 2019 and 15.67% in 2021. The experimental groups of beta-cyfluthrin had 60 min knockdown rates of 0 in 2019 and 0.61% in 2021, with a statistical difference between them ( χ 2=6.400, P=0.011), and had 24 h mortality rates of 17.04% in 2019 and 4.36% in 2021. The experimental groups of malathion had 60 min knockdown rates of 3.06% in 2019 and 3.14% in 2021, with no statistical difference between them ( χ 2=8.000, P=0.156), and had 24 h mortality rates of 55.58% in 2019 and 82.24% in 2021. The resistance levels to the three types of insecticides were all "resistant" both in 2019 and 2021. Conclusions An. sinensis in Zaoyang, Hubei province has developed resistance to deltamethrin, beta-cyfluthrin, and malathion. The monitoring of insecticide resistance of An. sinensis should be strengthened. Insecticides should be used reasonably, and comprehensive control measures should be taken.

Objective To understand the impact of construction of the Three Gorges Project on the paragonimiasis in Xingshan county. Methods Four epidemiological surveys including sero-epidemiologic investigation and the metacercaria of Paragonimus from crabs captured were carried out in 2012-2016. The data of the paragonimiasis before the construction and the beginning of the construction and the water storage period were collected. Results The active surveillance was conducted on 1 128 residents and the total positive rate of serology test was 2.57%(29/1 128), while the Nanyang town had the highest rate of 8.12%(25/308)with statistical significance( χ 2=64.313, P=0.000). All of the three hundred and forty fresh-water crabs were captured and the positive rate was 27.94%(95/340), while the Gufu town had the highest rate of 48.80%(61/125)with statistical significance( χ 2=22.942, P=0.000). The infection rates of the crabs before and after the construction were higher than the beginning of the construction period. This account had statistical significance( χ 2=11.348, P=0.003). The positive rate of the serology tests cannot be compared because of the different detection technology. Conclusion The infection rate of the crabs was still high, and new area of high infection rate appeared in Xingshan because of the Three Gorges Project. Measures on continuous surveillance and health education should be taken to avoid the occurrence of outbreak.

Objective To investigate the resistance of Anopheles sinensis to deltamethrin and provide baseline data for proper use of insecticide. Methods The filter paper contact method for adult mosquitoes, as recommended by WHO, was used to determine the time for initial knockdown, knockdown rate, and mortality of An. sinensis, and the levels of resistance were determined based on the discriminating doses. Results For the An. sinensis in Jiangling county, Xiangzhou district, Zaoyang city, Tongcheng county, Tianmen city, Yiling district, Wuxue city, Guangshui city, Zengdu district, Jingshan county, and Enshi city, the time for initial knockdownby deltamethrin was 6, 20, 11, 9, 20, 6, 30, 5, 14, 25, and 23 min, respectively; the knockdown rate caused by deltamethrin at 60 min was 9.62%, 7.69%, 14.55%, 2.11%, 3.00%, 48.94%, 2.80%, 10.78%, 14.00%, 1.00%, and 3.06%, respectively. The mortality of An. sinensis at the discriminating dose of deltamethrin was less than 50.00% in all sampling areas except for Enshi where the mortality was 70.85%. Conclusion The resistance of An. sinensis to deltamethrin in Hubei province was high and the spreading of resistance was rapid. Thus, we should strengthen the monitoring of insecticide resistance and implement strategic dosing of insecticide to achieve better control effect.

【Abstract】 Objective Master prevalent situation and effective control measure of malaria in Hubei province. Methods The prevalent situation and control measure of malaria was analyzed by collecting the data of prevention, field investigation and surveillance of malaria and the net?reporting of malaria epidemic situation. Results There were 1769 cases of malaria in 2007 in Hubei including 1721 local cases, accounting for 97.29% and 48 exported cases (34 cases of vivax and 14 cases of falciparum), accounting for 2.71%. There were 1769 reported cases of malaria and the cure rate reached 100%. In the rest period of malaria, there were 8345 people cured who had the malaria infection history or were risk population. And the cure rate was 95.47%. There were 22 731 people taking preventive medicine, accounting for 84.17%. Thirty seven cases of malaria were found among 2497 people by field interview investigation. Of which, all the cases were cured including 36 cases cured regularly. And the regular cure rate was 97.30%. Thirty six cases were reported and one case failed to report. There were 79 cases reported in malaria monitoring sites in 2007 (28.01/ten thousand), decreasing by 14.13% compared with 2006 (92 cases). The average biting rate of Anopheles sinensis was 8.26/person·night in 2007,  increasing by 102% compared with 2006 (4.08 /person·night). The average biting rate of An.anthropophagus was 0.30/person·night in 2007, up 15.38% compared with 0.26/person·night in 2006. Conclusion The incidence of local malaria is basically stable, while the quantity of exported cases increases. It is effective to root up infection source.

【Abstract】 Objective To grasp the epidemic situation of malaria in Hubei province and consolidate the achievement of prevention and control. Methods The present status of malaria epidemic and its change situation were analyzed by collecting malaria data from 1994 to 2007. Results Incidence cases of malaria decreased from 4527 cases in 1994 to 1769 cases in 2007, down about 60.92%. Malaria epidemic situation continuously  fluctuated during 14 years, and sometime it broke out in the parts. The annual average incidence rate of malaria was 13 per million in the epidemic  area  transmitted  by  Anopheles sinensis,  and 199 per million in the areas transmitted by  Anopheles anthropophagus. Over 80%  cases  focused  on  the  areas  transmitted  by An.anthropophagus where its population only accounted for 26.37% of total population. Conclusion There was a great change of malaria distribution and epidemic situation in Hubei province. It should put the emphasis on the control of malaria especially the epidemic area transmitted by An. anthropophagus in the future.
