Abstract

In the last 2 decades, there has been an increase in the geographic range and frequency of vector-borne diseases. Management of mosquito populations has become challenging due to increasing rates of resistance to existing insecticidal products and formulations. Several alternative tools have emerged to suppress or replace mosquito populations. One of these tools is the In2Care Mosquito Station (In2Care station). This dual-action station contains the insect growth regulator pyriproxyfen which disrupts the development of immatures and the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (B. bassiana) strain GHA which kills exposed adult mosquitoes. The In2Care stations have previously been shown to effectively control Aedes aegypti in field settings at a density of 6 stations/acre rather than the label-recommended 10 stations/acre. To further test the efficacy of low station density deployment, we deployed In2Care stations in the Pleasant Street Historic District of Gainesville, Florida, at a density of 3 stations/acre over a period of 2 years in the presence or absence of ground larvicidal applications. The deployment of stations resulted in no measurable impact on Ae. aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus adult or immature abundance suggesting that the low-density deployment of In2Care stations is insufficient to reduce Ae. aegypti and Cu. quinquefasciatus abundance within treatment areas.

在低部署密度下评估 In2Care 蚊子站:在佛罗里达州中北部管理埃及伊蚊和库蚊(双翅目:库蚊科)的实地研究。
在过去 20 年里,病媒传播疾病的地域范围和发生频率都有所增加。由于对现有杀虫产品和配方的抗药性不断增加,蚊子种群的管理已变得极具挑战性。出现了几种替代工具来抑制或取代蚊子种群。In2Care 灭蚊站就是其中之一。这种双重作用的灭蚊站含有昆虫生长调节剂吡丙醚和昆虫病原真菌贝维氏菌(B. bassiana)菌株 GHA,前者能破坏幼蚊的发育,后者能杀死暴露在外的成蚊。In2Care 蚊虫控制站以前曾在田间环境中以每英亩 6 个蚊虫控制站的密度而不是标签建议的每英亩 10 个蚊虫控制站的密度有效控制过埃及伊蚊。为了进一步测试低密度部署的效果,我们在佛罗里达州盖恩斯维尔市欢乐街历史街区部署了 In2Care 监测站,部署密度为 3 个监测站/英亩,为期两年,无论是否施用地面杀幼虫剂。这些监测站的部署对埃及蚁和五步库蚊的成虫或幼虫数量没有产生可测量的影响,这表明低密度部署 In2Care 监测站不足以降低处理区域内埃及蚁和五步库蚊的数量。
