Abstract1187)      PDF (454KB)(1011)      

【Abstract】 Objective A field study was carried out in a restaurant in the south of China to investigate the blood sources affected Japanese encephalitis (JE) vectors Culex tritaeniorhynchus and Cx.pipiens quinquefasciatus indoor abundance. Methods Vector density was investigated by human?leg capture technique. Results In the dinning room adjacent to deer blood resource, Cx.tritaeniorhynchus was the dominant specie(74.80% of total number) and the minor vector was Cx.pipiens quinquefasciatus (21.14%). However, in the restroom where the mosquitoes could only access to human blood,  Cx.pipiens quinquefasciatus accounted for 60.28% and that of Cx.tritaeniorhynchus was 36.62%(n=845). The density of Cx.tritaeniorhynchus in restroom was higher than that in the dinning room (df=1, χ2=5.32,P<0.05, n=676). However, the density of Cx.pipiens quinquefasciatus in the dinning room was higher than that in the restroom(df=1, χ2=268.45, P<0.001, n=611). Conclusion The results showed that the blood resources influenced the JE vector spatial abundance. The abundance of Cx.tritaeniorhynchus or Cx.pipiens quinquefasciatus was affected by the animal blood or the human blood.

【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.

【Abstract】 Objective To study the distribution and its ecological charateristics of medical gamasid mites in the surrounding areas of Biluoxueshan in Yunnan province, China. Methods Some small mammals were captured by mouse traps (or mouse clips) in the surrounding areas of Biluo snow mountain located in Weixi county of Yunnan province. The ectoparasitic gamasid mites were all collected from the body surface of small mammal hosts. The community structure of gamasid mites were illustrated with richness (S), Shannon?Wiener’s diversity index(H′), evenness(J′) and dominance index(C′). The spatial distribution patterns of some dominant species of gamasid mites were measured by disperse coefficient, clumping index, Cassie index and patch index. Results There were 1560 small mammals belonging to 40 species captured, and 35 species of gamasid mites were collected from the body of small mammals. Of which, 8 species were not identified. The community of gamasid mites showed a high diversity with abundant species. The dominant species of gamasid mite were Laclaps traubi, Laelaps chin, Laelaps jingdongensis, Laclaps turkestanicus and Ornithonyssus bacoti. The distribution patterns of 5 dominant gamasid mite species on the body of small mammals were of aggregated distribution. Of the 5 dominant species, the female ratios of most mite species (96.84%, 87.94%, 92.78%, 95.77%) were much higher than the males, but Os.bacoti was an exception (37.25%). For most mites species, the proportion of the larvae and nympha was much lower with the exception of Os.bacoti Hirst (54.51%).

Methods Epidemiological trends of HFRS in Pingyi county was analyzed with the method of descriptive epidemiology based on the HFRS case data and the surveillance information of host from 1980 to 2006. Results From 1980-2006, there were 9519 cases of HFRS were reported, the average annual incidence rate of this disease was 26.28/100 000, and 277 cases were died with the morbidity of 2.91%. The peak of incidence rate was from 1992 to 1998. The prevalence of HFRS varied periodically and the prevalence period was about 3-5 years, which mostly focused on the spring, fall and winter. It often occurred in low plains with rivers, and the patients were mostly the males who were young and strong. The prevalence trend gradually decreases, and its mortality in autumn and winter was higher than in spring. The rodent density was in the peak in the third quarter and the rate of rodent carrying virus was the highest in the fourth quarter. Conclusion The prevalence of HFRS in Pingyi county had the characteristic of periodicity, seasonal and multitudinous. In recent years, though the HFRS morbidity and incidence rate gradually decreased, the crowd morbidity, mice density and the rate of mouse carrying virus still maintained at the high level. In order to control HFRS, the integrated control measure must be taken including deratization  in the spot and the inoculation of HFRS vaccine in the key crowd.

Abstract1269)      PDF (409KB)(1177)      

       【Abstract】 Objective To predict the risk indicators of the harm caused by vectors and the occurrence of related diseases during the Olympic Games by risk recognition and assessment methods. To take response measure timely and reduce effectively the harm caused by vectors in order to prevent the occurrence and prevalence of vector?borne diseases. Methods To grade the risk by analyzing the occurrence probability and consequence of risk event comprehensively. Firstly, educe the list and confirm the classification of the risk by literature consultation, empirical analysis, brain storm and expert advice. Secondly, judge the risk level by risk assessment index matrix method and provide the standard to the risk classification. Results The vector?borne diseases and nuisance caused by vectors could be potential during the Olympic Games. For the probability of the public health event caused by vectors, it certainly happens for the biting and infestation of vectors, and probably occurs for environment disruption. It is rare for the occurrence of cables bitten by rodent and power apparatus disruption. The levels of the public health event damaged by vector are as follows: it is moderate harm for the cable bitten and electronic facility disruption, and it is slight harm for the vector biting and infestation or environment disruption. Conclusion The goal that there is no serious harmful events caused by vectors during Beijing Olympic Games would be certainly realized by scientific recognition and assessment of the risk, comprehensive surveillance of vectors, integrated control, scientific using of pesticide, the organization of emergency response team and the generalization of advanced technology.
