Although citizen science initiatives have been increasing globally, there is still a gap in understanding how they can result in sustainable benefits for citizen scientists. This article addresses dual goals of (i) collecting relevant data on potential vector mosquitoes and (ii) delivering learning outcomes among participants in a citizen science mosquito surveillance program. Mozzie Monitors uses an e-entomology approach to collect and identify mosquitoes of medical importance. This study used quantitative, qualitative, and mixed method approaches, comprised of before and after longitudinal surveys, in-depth interviews and descriptive assessment of mosquito attributes to assess participants’ educational gains and data collection scalability. Results showed that mosquito abundance and diversity differed in each study location, with Aedes notoscriptus (Skuse) being the most common mosquito reported in all areas. Citizen scientists were predominantly women over 50 and highly educated. The before-and-after analysis showed that participants learned how to identify the most common mosquito species after participating in the program. They also improved their technical skills in mosquito photography, increasing the rates of identifiable photos. Finally, participating in this citizen science program resulted in behavior changes, with participants starting to look for mosquito eggs and larvae in their backyards to manage mosquito populations. The mixed methods used in this research showed increased participants’ confidence, self-efficacy, and engagement throughout the trial. Overall, this study demonstrated the potential of Mozzie Monitors to contribute to the dual goals of mosquito data contribution and citizen scientists’ educational outcomes for improved public health.
尽管公民科学活动在全球范围内日益增多,但在了解这些活动如何为公民科学家带来可持续惠益方面仍存在差距。本文探讨了以下双重目标:(i) 收集潜在病媒蚊子的相关数据;(ii) 为公民科学蚊子监测计划的参与者提供学习成果。Mozzie Monitors 采用电子体表学方法来收集和识别具有医学重要性的蚊子。这项研究采用了定量、定性和混合方法,包括前后纵向调查、深度访谈和蚊子属性描述性评估,以评估参与者的教育收获和数据收集的可扩展性。结果表明,蚊子的数量和多样性在每个研究地点都有所不同,伊蚊(Skuse)是所有地区报告的最常见蚊子。公民科学家主要是 50 岁以上的女性,受过高等教育。前后分析表明,参与者在参与计划后学会了如何识别最常见的蚊子种类。他们还提高了蚊子摄影的技术技能,增加了可识别照片的比率。最后,参加这项公民科学计划的参与者的行为也发生了变化,他们开始在自家后院寻找蚊子卵和幼虫,以管理蚊子种群。这项研究中使用的混合方法表明,在整个试验过程中,参与者的信心、自我效能和参与度都有所提高。总之,这项研究表明,Mozzie 监测器有潜力为实现蚊子数据贡献和公民科学家教育成果的双重目标做出贡献,从而改善公共卫生。

We searched for evidence of knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel gene of Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus) (Diptera: Culicidae) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae) mosquitoes from Panama. Conventional PCR was performed on 469 Ae. aegypti and 349 Ae. albopictus. We did not discover kdr mutations in Ae. albopictus, but 2 nonsynonymous kdr mutations, V1016I (found in 101 mosquitoes) and F1534C (found in 29 of the mosquitoes with the V1016I), were detected in Ae. aegypti. These kdr mutations were present in all specimens that were successfully sequenced for both IIS5-S6 and IIIS6 regions, which included samples collected from 8 of the 10 provinces of Panama. No other kdr mutations were found in Ae. aegypti, including V1016G, which has already been reported in Panama. Findings suggest that the V1016I-F1534C variant is prevalent in Panama, which might be related to the introduction and passive movement of mosquitoes as part of the used-tire trade. However, we cannot rule out the possibility that selection on de novo replacement of kdr mutations also partially explains the widespread distribution pattern of these mutations. These 2 ecological and evolutionary processes are not mutually exclusive, though, as they can occur in tandem. Research in Panama needs to calculate the genotypic and allelic frequencies of kdr alleles in local Ae. aegypti populations and to test whether some combinations confer phenotypic resistance or not. Finally, future studies will have to track the introduction and spreading of new kdr mutations in both Aedes species.
我们在巴拿马的埃及伊蚊(Linnaeus)(双翅目:Culicidae)和白纹伊蚊(Skuse)(双翅目:Culicidae)的电压门钠离子通道基因中寻找基因敲除抗性(kdr)突变的证据。对 469 只埃及伊蚊和 349 只白纹伊蚊进行了常规 PCR 检测。我们没有在白纹伊蚊中发现 kdr 突变,但在埃及伊蚊中发现了 2 个非同义 kdr 突变,即 V1016I(在 101 只蚊子中发现)和 F1534C(在 29 只带有 V1016I 的蚊子中发现)。这些 kdr 变异出现在所有 IIS5-S6 和 IIIS6 区域测序成功的样本中,其中包括从巴拿马 10 个省中的 8 个省采集的样本。在埃及蝇中没有发现其他 kdr 变异,包括在巴拿马已有报道的 V1016G。研究结果表明,V1016I-F1534C 变异在巴拿马很普遍,这可能与旧轮胎贸易中蚊子的引入和被动移动有关。然而,我们不能排除这样一种可能性,即对 kdr 突变的从头替换的选择也部分解释了这些变异的广泛分布模式。不过,这两个生态和进化过程并不相互排斥,因为它们可以同时发生。巴拿马的研究需要计算 kdr 等位基因在当地埃及蚁种群中的基因型和等位基因频率,并检验某些组合是否会产生表型抗性。最后,未来的研究必须跟踪新的 kdr 突变在两种伊蚊中的引入和传播情况。

Forensic entomology plays a crucial role in estimating the minimum postmortem interval through the study of insect larvae found at crime scenes. The precision of this estimation relies on various biotic and abiotic elements that simultaneously influence insect growth and development, encompassing factors such as temperature, humidity, photoperiod, diet, and the existence of xenobiotics in decomposing tissues. Despite numerous studies on the influence of these factors, including the impact of xenobiotics, there are currently no robust tools available for making corrections to this estimation considering concurrently all variables. In an attempt to propose an exploratory and descriptive statistical model to analyze the simultaneous effect and interaction of different variables on larval growth, this study aimed to compare the effect of malathion on the growth of Megaselia scalaris (Loew, 1866) (Diptera: Phoridae) raised in malathion-spiked porcine muscle, under controlled and uncontrolled temperature and humidity conditions (environmental conditions). Larvae were also reared using various growth media. A split-plot design that combined crossed and nested factors was employed; 2 linear mixed models were developed to assess the relationships between the variables. The model provides valuable insights into the complex interactions among xenobiotics, growth media, and environmental conditions in the size and development of M. scalaris.
通过研究在犯罪现场发现的昆虫幼虫,法医昆虫学在估算死后最小间隔时间方面发挥着至关重要的作用。这种估计的精确性取决于同时影响昆虫生长和发育的各种生物和非生物因素,包括温度、湿度、光周期、饮食以及分解组织中是否存在异种生物等因素。尽管对这些因素的影响(包括异种生物的影响)进行了大量研究,但目前还没有可靠的工具来对同时考虑所有变量的估算进行修正。为了提出一种探索性和描述性统计模型来分析不同变量对幼虫生长的同时影响和相互作用,本研究旨在比较马拉硫磷在受控和非受控温度和湿度条件(环境条件)下对在添加马拉硫磷的猪肌肉中饲养的 Megaselia scalaris (Loew, 1866) (双翅目:萤火虫科)生长的影响。幼虫的饲养也使用了不同的生长介质。采用了结合交叉和嵌套因素的分割图设计;建立了两个线性混合模型来评估变量之间的关系。该模型为了解异种生物、生长介质和环境条件在鳞栉水母的体型和发育过程中的复杂相互作用提供了有价值的见解。

The sand fly of the genus Bichromomyia (Galati, 1995) includes 3 subspecies considered vectors of Leishmania, which share high morphological similarity. Through information from the Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit I (COI) gene, we provide complementary evidence to support that Bichromomyia olmeca olmeca, and Bichromomyia olmeca bicolor, should be raised to nominal species status. We recovered specimens of Bi. o. olmeca from Quintana Roo, Tabasco, and Oaxaca, Mexico, supply 17 new COI sequences, and also incorporate GenBank sequences for other Bichromomyia species. After a Maximum Likelihood (ML) analysis, all Bichromomyia species clustered with a bootstrap of 100%, although sequences of Bichromomyia flaviscutellata were divided into 2 clusters with an interspecific range distance of 11.16% between them, which confirm cryptic species in Brazil. The genetic distance of Bi. o. olmeca compared to related subspecies ranged between 12.59% and 14.64%. A total of 29 haplotypes (Hd = 0.987; π = 0.08783; S = 136) were recovered from the Bichromomyia sequences. Results of the TC network were consistent with the ML analysis, supporting that subspecies of Bichromomyia are genetically distinct and deserve being raised to valid species category: Bichromomyia olmeca (Vargas & Díaz-Nájera) and Bichromomyia bicolor (Fairchild & Theodor).
沙蝇属 Bichromomyia(Galati,1995 年)包括 3 个亚种,被认为是利什曼病的传播媒介,它们在形态上具有高度相似性。通过细胞色素氧化酶亚基 I(COI)基因的信息,我们提供了补充证据,支持将 Bichromomyia olmeca olmeca 和 Bichromomyia olmeca bicolor 提升到标称种的地位。我们从墨西哥金塔纳罗奥州、塔巴斯科州和瓦哈卡州采集到了 Bichromomyia olmeca olmeca 的标本,提供了 17 条新的 COI 序列,并纳入了 GenBank 中其他 Bichromomyia 物种的序列。经过最大似然法(ML)分析,所有 Bichromomyia 物种的聚类引导率均为 100%,但 Bichromomyia flaviscutellata 的序列被分为 2 个聚类,它们之间的种间距离为 11.16%,这证实了巴西的隐性物种。o. olmeca 与相关亚种的遗传距离在 12.59% 和 14.64% 之间。从 Bichromomyia 序列中总共发现了 29 个单倍型(Hd = 0.987;π = 0.08783;S = 136)。TC 网络的结果与 ML 分析结果一致,证明 Bichromomyia 亚种在遗传学上是不同的,值得将其提升为有效的物种类别:Bichromomyia olmeca (Vargas & Díaz-Nájera) 和 Bichromomyia bicolor (Fairchild & Theodor)。

Ticks of the Amblyomma maculatum (Ixodida Ixodidae) complex, the Amblyomma cajennense (Ixodida Ixodidae) complex and Amblyomma ovale (Ixodida Ixodidae) are known to transmit various Rickettsia species in Colombia, but their exact distribution is unknown. We built several models based on current climate and projected future climate changes using a maximum entropy approach. A total of 314 records of the A. cajennense complex (65.9%; n = 207), A. ovale (22.9%; n = 72), and the A. maculatum complex (11.1%; n = 35) were obtained. Amblyomma ovale has a current distribution in the Pacific, Caribbean and Andean regions and could be potentially found in the Amazon. Amblyomma maculatum has a current distribution in the Andean and could potentially be found in the Caribbean and Orinoco regions. Amblyomma mixtum can be found near the Caribbean Sea and in the Pacific region, and A. patinoi is likely to be found in the Andean region and the Caribbean. In 2070, it will be possible to find an expansion of A. ovale and A. maculatum and a decrease of A. mixtum and A. patinoi. The variables that best predict the distribution of these species are isothermality (small fluctuations in temperature) and annual precipitation. Amblyomma cajennense s.l and A. ovale, A. cajennese s.l and A. patinoi, as well as A. maculatum and A. patinoi, have an important environmental sympatry. Epidemiological and acarological surveillance is crucial to investigate rickettsiosis caused by R. parkeri in A. ovale regions, by R. rickettsii in A. patinoi and A. mixtum areas, and by R. parkeri s.s in A. maculatum regions.
据了解,Amblyomma maculatum(Ixodida Ixodidae)复合体、Amblyomma cajennense(Ixodida Ixodidae)复合体和Amblyomma ovale(Ixodida Ixodidae)的蜱虫会在哥伦比亚传播各种立克次体,但它们的确切分布情况尚不清楚。我们采用最大熵方法,根据当前气候建立了几个模型,并预测了未来的气候变化。我们共获得了 314 条记录,包括 A. cajennense 复合体(65.9%;n = 207)、A. ovale(22.9%;n = 72)和 A. maculatum 复合体(11.1%;n = 35)。目前,Amblyomma ovale分布在太平洋、加勒比海和安第斯地区,并有可能在亚马逊地区发现。Amblyomma maculatum 目前分布在安第斯地区,有可能在加勒比海和奥里诺科地区发现。Amblyomma mixtum分布在加勒比海附近和太平洋地区,而A. patinoi则可能分布在安第斯地区和加勒比海地区。到 2070 年,卵形瘤蚁和巨型瘤蚁的数量可能会增加,而 mixtum 和 patinoi 的数量可能会减少。最能预测这些物种分布的变量是等温线(温度波动小)和年降水量。Amblyomma cajennense s.l和A. ovale、A. cajennese s.l和A. patinoi以及A. maculatum和A. patinoi具有重要的环境共生关系。流行病学和昆虫学监测对于调查由 R. parkeri 在 A. ovale 地区、由 R. rickettsii 在 A. patinoi 和 A. mixtum 地区以及由 R. parkeri s.s 在 A. maculatum 地区引起的立克次体病至关重要。

Understanding the distribution patterns of medically significant sandflies is crucial for effective vector and disease control planning. This study focused on investigating the abundance and distribution of phlebotomine sandflies, specifically emphasizing Phlebotomus pedifer (Diptera: Psychodidae), the vector of Leishmania aethiopica responsible for cutaneous leishmaniasis in the highlands of southern Ethiopia. The study employed CDC light traps and sticky paper traps in various habitats, including human houses, farm fields, and rock cliffs, with and without the presence of hyraxes. The study was conducted along an altitudinal gradient in Kindo Didaye district, Wolaita Zone. A total of 7,994 sandflies belonging to 2 genera, Phlebotomus (26.1%) and Sergentomyia (73.9%), were collected. In the genus Phlebotomus, P. pedifer (74.1%) was the most abundant, followed by P. alexandri (18.05%) and P. gibiensis (7.85%). Altitude showed a strong positive association with the density and distribution of P. pedifer and a negative association with those of P. alexandri, P. gibiensis, and Sergentomyia spp. Furthermore, the study revealed distinct habitat preferences, with P. pedifer showing the highest mean density in hyrax dwellings, followed by human houses, and the lowest in farm fields. These findings provide valuable insights for planning targeted control measures against P. pedifer in both indoor and outdoor environments, particularly in the highland and midland areas of the study region.
了解对医学有重要意义的沙蝇的分布模式对于有效的病媒和疾病控制规划至关重要。这项研究的重点是调查嗜血沙蝇的数量和分布情况,尤其是埃塞俄比亚南部高原地区的嗜血沙蝇(Phlebotomus pedifer,双翅目:Psychodidae),它是皮肤利什曼病的病媒。这项研究采用了 CDC 灯光诱捕器和粘纸诱捕器,在不同的栖息地进行,包括人类房屋、农田和岩石悬崖,有无鬣狗均可。研究在沃莱塔区金多-迪达耶地区沿海拔梯度进行。共收集到 7,994 只沙蝇,分属 Phlebotomus(26.1%)和 Sergentomyia(73.9%)两个属。在沙蝇属中,以 P. pedifer(74.1%)的数量最多,其次是 P. alexandri(18.05%)和 P. gibiensis(7.85%)。海拔高度与 P. pedifer 的密度和分布呈强烈的正相关,而与 P. alexandri、P. gibiensis 和 Sergentomyia spp 的密度和分布呈负相关。 此外,研究还揭示了不同的栖息地偏好,P. pedifer 在鬣羚住所的平均密度最高,其次是人类房屋,而在农田的平均密度最低。这些发现为在室内和室外环境(尤其是在研究区域的高原和中原地区)规划有针对性的小袋鼠控制措施提供了宝贵的见解。

The invasion of the Asian longhorned tick, Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann, into the United States poses a significant ecological, veterinarian, and public health threat. We conducted a comprehensive tick survey using standard tick flagging protocol for collection over 3 field seasons, March–August, and 56 surveyed sites to identify the presence of H. longicornis in the native ecosystem and prove its establishment according to USDA criteria. Of the total 56 state parks and wildlife management areas (WMA) surveyed, only one was found to be invaded by H. longicornis; detection of H. longicornis occurred at Buck Shoals Wildlife Management area in White County, GA. This site is maintained by the state of Georgia, has no agricultural animals present, and hosts a large white-tailed deer population. After the initial detection of H. longicornis in 2022, an additional field season occurred in 2023, where H. longicornis was confirmed as established based on USDA criteria. The increase in H. longicornis populations from 2021 to 2023 at Buck Shoals WMA points to the rapid spread of this tick within the environment. Our findings provide evidence of the rapid establishment of H. longicornis in the southern edge of suitability for this tick and within the native ecosystem beyond farmlands and private land.
亚洲长角蜱(Haemaphysalis longicornis Neumann)入侵美国对生态、兽医和公共卫生构成了重大威胁。我们在 3 月至 8 月的 3 个野外季节采用标准蜱标记协议进行了一次全面的蜱虫调查,共调查了 56 个地点,以确定长角蜱在本地生态系统中的存在,并根据美国农业部的标准证明其成立。在调查的总共 56 个州立公园和野生动物管理区 (WMA) 中,只发现一个受到长角蛙入侵;在佐治亚州怀特县的 Buck Shoals 野生动物管理区发现了长角蛙。该地区由佐治亚州政府负责维护,没有农业动物,白尾鹿数量众多。在 2022 年首次检测到长角雉之后,2023 年又进行了一次野外检测,根据美国农业部的标准,长角雉被确认为已确定存在。从 2021 年到 2023 年,H. longicornis 在 Buck Shoals WMA 的数量增加,表明这种蜱虫在环境中迅速传播。我们的研究结果提供了证据,证明 H. longicornis 在适合这种蜱虫的南部边缘以及农田和私人土地以外的原生生态系统中迅速建立。

Willingness and ability of existing mosquito control and public health agencies in New Jersey to assume responsibilities for management of ticks and tick-borne disease 新泽西州现有蚊虫控制和公共卫生机构承担蜱虫和蜱传疾病管理责任的意愿和能力

We conducted surveys of New Jersey mosquito control and public health agencies to determine their willingness and ability to expand or create and maintain publicly funded tick and tick-borne disease (T/TBD) management programs. Nearly all (86%) of 21 county mosquito control agencies (MCAs) completed the survey, while only 25% of the 102 health departments (HDs) responded, probably reflecting traditional agency responsibilities. Although few of either group had formal programs, many were engaged in T/TBD-related activities. Many MCAs rated their ability to assume T/TBD responsibilities as high or moderate, while most HDs rated their capabilities as low. With the exceptions of lack of sustainable funding and possible legal constraints, the groups differed regarding perceived barriers to program creation and maintenance. Both groups envisioned comprehensive programs emphasizing public education, but program priorities differed between the groups. MCAs were willing to include most program activities, while HDs felt that some activities should be the responsibility of other agencies. MCAs were generally more familiar than HDs with tick control methods and while both groups would include control in a comprehensive program, both would limit control to public lands. Estimated program costs varied widely, probably reflecting responding agency size and complexity of envisioned programs. These results in a state with a system of existing agencies staffed by highly competent professionals suggest that more than simply additional funding (e.g., established guidelines for tick control and surveillance) is needed to create a network of practice necessary to address the growing incidence of TBD.
我们对新泽西州的蚊虫控制和公共卫生机构进行了调查,以确定他们是否愿意和有能力扩大或创建并维持由政府资助的蜱虫和蜱虫传播疾病(T/TBD)管理计划。21 个县级蚊虫控制机构(MCAs)几乎全部(86%)完成了调查,而 102 个卫生部门(HDs)中只有 25% 做出了回应,这可能反映了传统的机构职责。虽然这两类机构中很少有正式的项目,但很多都参与了与 T/TBD 相关的活动。许多多边合作机构将其承担 T/TBD 责任的能力评为较高或中等,而大多数人类发展部则将其能力评为较低。除了缺乏可持续的资金和可能存在的法律限制外,两组在项目创建和维护方面的障碍认识上存在差异。两组都设想了强调公众教育的综合计划,但计划的优先次序却各不相同。多边合作机构愿意纳入大多数计划活动,而房屋署则认为有些活动应由其他机构负责。一般来说,管理顾问比房屋管理员更熟悉蜱虫控制方法,虽然两个群体都愿意将控制纳入综合计划,但都将控制范围限制在公共土地上。估计的计划成本差异很大,这可能反映了响应机构的规模和设想计划的复杂性。这些结果表明,在一个拥有现有机构系统并配备了能力很强的专业人员的州,需要的不仅仅是额外的资金(例如,既定的蜱虫控制和监测指南),还需要建立一个必要的实践网络,以应对日益增长的 TBD 发病率。

Borrelia miyamotoi disease is an emerging tick-borne human illness in the United States caused by Borrelia miyamotoi (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) bacterium. With Pennsylvania reporting thousands of tick-borne disease cases annually, determining the minimum infection rate (MIR) of B. miyamotoi in Ixodes scapularis (Say, Acari: Ixodidae) adults within Pennsylvania is of utmost importance. Active surveillance was performed from October 2019 to April 2020 to collect a minimum of 50 I. scapularis ticks from every county within Pennsylvania and then screened for B. miyamotoi via qPCR. Ticks were collected from all 67 counties with the majority of those being adult I. scapularis. Additional ticks collected were Dermacentor albipictus (Packard, Acari: Ixodidae), Haemaphysalis longicornis (Neumann, Acari: Ixodidae), and immature I. scapularis. Adult I. scapularis were pooled and tested for B. miyamotoi. MIR for positive B. miyamotoi pools and density of infected adult I. scapularis varied by county, with positive pools from 38 Pennsylvania counties. This is the first statewide evaluation of B. miyamotoi in Pennsylvania in questing adult I. scapularis. These prevalence and distribution data will aid health care practitioners within the state of Pennsylvania and the northeast United States to understand potential risk and bring awareness to the lesser known human Borrelia illness, Borrelia miyamotoi disease.
宫本氏包虫病是美国新出现的一种蜱媒人类疾病,由宫本氏包虫病(螺旋体科:Spirochaetales)细菌引起。宾夕法尼亚州每年报告的蜱传疾病病例数以千计,因此确定宾夕法尼亚州境内 Ixodes scapularis (Say, Acari: Ixodidae) 成虫中 B. miyamotoi 的最低感染率(MIR)至关重要。从 2019 年 10 月到 2020 年 4 月,我们在宾夕法尼亚州的每个县收集了至少 50 只蜱虫,然后通过 qPCR 筛查 B. miyamotoi。我们从所有 67 个县收集到蜱虫,其中大部分是成年 I. scapularis。收集到的其他蜱虫包括 Dermacentor albipictus (Packard, Acari: Ixodidae)、Haemaphysalis longicornis (Neumann, Acari: Ixodidae) 和未成熟的 I. scapularis。将成年恙螨集中起来进行宫本虫检测。B. miyamotoi 阳性池的 MIR 和受感染的成年鳞栉蜂密度因县而异,宾夕法尼亚州 38 个县都有阳性池。这是宾夕法尼亚州首次在全州范围内评估 B. miyamotoi 对成年恙虫的影响。这些流行率和分布数据将有助于宾夕法尼亚州和美国东北部的卫生保健从业人员了解潜在的风险,并提高人们对鲜为人知的人类包柔病毒疾病--宫本氏包柔病毒病的认识。

Mosquitoes play a critical role as vectors of pathogens affecting both humans and animals. Therefore, understanding their biodiversity and distribution is crucial to developing evidence-based vector control strategies. The current study updated the composition and distribution of mosquito species through a comprehensive survey of all municipalities of Cabo Verde. From October 2017 to September 2018, mosquito larvae and pupae were collected from 814 aquatic habitats. Anopheles gambiae (Giles, 1902) and Culex pipiens (Linnaeus, 1758) complexes were subjected to PCR-based techniques for sibling species identification. Ten mosquito species from 5 genera were identified: Aedes aegypti (Linnaeus, 1762), Aedes caspius (Pallas, 1771), Anopheles arabiensis (Patton, 1905), Anopheles pretoriensis (Theobald, 1903), Culex bitaeniorhynchus (Giles, 1901), Cx. pipiens, Culex quinquefasciatus (Say, 1823), Culex tritaeniorhynchus (Giles, 1901), Culiseta longiareolata (Macquart, 1838), and Lutzia tigripes (de Grandpre & de Charmoy, 1901). Santiago Island reported the highest number of species (n = 8). Ae. aegypti and Cx. quinquefasciatus were the most widely distributed species across the country. An. arabiensis was the sole species identified within the An. gambiae complex. The findings from our study will help guide health policy decisions to effectively control mosquito-borne diseases.
蚊子作为影响人类和动物的病原体的传播媒介,发挥着至关重要的作用。因此,了解蚊子的生物多样性和分布情况对于制定循证病媒控制策略至关重要。目前的研究通过对佛得角所有城市的全面调查,更新了蚊子物种的组成和分布。从 2017 年 10 月到 2018 年 9 月,从 814 个水生栖息地收集了蚊子幼虫和蛹。对冈比亚按蚊(Giles,1902 年)和喙库蚊(Linnaeus,1758 年)复合物进行了基于 PCR 技术的同胞物种鉴定。共鉴定出 5 个属的 10 种蚊子:埃及伊蚊(Linnaeus,1762 年)、卡西比乌斯伊蚊(Pallas,1771 年)、阿拉伯按蚊(Patton,1905 年)、普里托利按蚊(Theobald,1903 年)、比特库蚊(Giles,1901 年)、喙库蚊(Cx.Culex tritaeniorhynchus (Giles, 1901), Culiseta longiareolata (Macquart, 1838), and Lutzia tigripes (de Grandpre & de Charmoy, 1901)。圣地亚哥岛报告的物种数量最多(n = 8)。埃及疟蚊(Ae. aegypti)和五步蛇(Cx. quinquefasciatus)是全国分布最广的物种。阿拉伯疟蚊是冈比亚疟蚊复合体中唯一被确认的物种。我们的研究结果将有助于指导卫生政策决定,以有效控制蚊子传播的疾病。
