Dengue Vector Control

The control of dengue relies on the elimination of vector breeding sites. This study identified the container categories most productive for A. aegypti within the framework of the São Paulo dengue vector control program (DVCP) in São Sebastião, a large city located on the state’s coast where dengue cases have occurred since 2001. Containers were inspected monthly for the occurrence of mosquito immature stages during two consecutive vector-breeding seasons in 2002–2004. Containers were classified by their material, use, and fixed or removable status. Pupal productivity differed significantly among container types, items made of metal and plastic, and boats being those with the highest relative contribution. Significant correlations between traditional indices of A. aegypti abundance (Container Index, House Index, and Breteau Index) and pupal productivity/demographic indices (Pupae/Container, Pupae/House, Pupae/ha, and Pupae/Person) ranged 0.56–0.65; correlations were not statistically significant for any combination involving the Pupae/Container index. The assessment of pupal productivity indices could be incorporated into the DVCP without any additional operational onus, allowing vector control managers to determine appropriate control actions targeting the most productive containers and sites. Further studies are needed to assess whether pupal productivity indices may be used as epidemiological indicators of risk of dengue transmission.

Abstract Background: This study presents a descriptive analysis of the occurrence of synanthropic triatomine species in the state of Bahia, before and after the implementation of the vector control program. Methods: Occurrence and number of collected specimens in the municipalities were analyzed in two periods: (A) 1957 to 1971, before systematic vector control actions; and (B) 2006 to 2019, after the certification of interruption of Chagas disease transmission by Triatoma infestans. Results: In total, 17 species were recorded during period A and 21 during period B. Panstrongylus megistus was the most frequent species in period A (42%), while Triatoma pseudomaculata (42%) and T. sordida (38%) were more frequent in period B. In period A, T. infestans was found in 26 (9%) municipalities, and in period B it was found in 7 (2%). During period B, most triatomines (88%) were captured at the peridomestic habitats, with a predominance of T. sordida (85%). Species with greatest relative abundance within the household were T. sordida (49%), T. brasiliensis (27%), and T. pseudomaculata (15%). Conclusions: We have observed a clear reduction in the occurrence of P. megistus and T. infestans and an increase in the relative abundance and geographical distribution of T. sordida and T. pseudomaculata after 40 years of the vector-control program. High frequency of other triatomine species in the municipalities of the state of Bahia and a great abundance of T. sordida in recent years, highlight the need to reinforce permanent entomological surveillance actions for Chagas disease.

Abstract Background: A long-term village scale vector control program was implemented in eight villages around the Balombo town (Benguela Province, Angola) to compare the efficacy of four methods of vector control inside houses including long-lasting deltamethrin insecticide treated nets (PermaNet© 2.0 model or P.2.0); association of P.2.0 and deltamethrin Insecticide Treated Plastic Sheeting (ITPS)-Zero Fly© model; deltamethrin ITPS-Wall Lining model alone; and 2 rounds of lambdacyhalothrin Inside Residual Spraying followed by installation of ITPS.Methods: Cross sectional parasitological surveys (CSS) were done every two months. Thick blood films (TBF) were microscopically examined at the Medical Department of the Angolese Sonamet company in Lobito and a sample of them were double-checked in Yaoundé. Plasmodium species determination, parasitaemia and gametocytes presence, and evolution in time were analyzed.Results: A total of 190 CSS was done between 2007 and 2011, Plasmodium spp. were observed in 5,431 of the 21,804 TBF done. Plasmodium malariae alone was observed in 22 TBF (0.4%) and mixed infections P. falciparum and P. malariae in 44 TBF (0.8%).Conclusion: The very low frequency of P. malariae could explain the fact it is usually not reported in classical point prevalence surveys. Our study confirms the presence of this species in Angola, which must be known due to its special clinical impact, quartan fever, kidney failure, chronicity, symptomless carriers, persistence for several years with long term recrudescence and reported cases of resistance to classical ACTs. The prevalence of P. malariae decreased after implementation of vector control methods.

And Behavior

Bangsring village in Wongsorejo regency has been reported as malaria endemic area in Banyuwangi since 2011. Understanding the diversity and behavior of mosquito vector in this area will be very impotant in developing vector control program. The masquitoes were collected by landing collection outside and inside house by human bites, we also observed the area around cattle cage. During observation periods, a total 633 masquitos were collected consist of 44% malaria potential vector (Anopheles spp.) 19% Dengue fever (DF) potential vector (Aedes spp.) and 36% were not belong to both of them. Out of total collected Anopheles spp. mosquitoes about 65% were indentified as An. vagus, 25% were An. indevinitus, 8% were An. vagus (limosus), and only 2% as well as 0,04 % were An. supictus and An. kochi. Meanwhile we found 19% of Aedes sp. were Ae. aegypti and 81% were Ae. albopictus. This study showed that the dominan potential malaria’s vector is An. Vagus and the dominan DF vector is Ae. albopictus. Mostly colleted Anopheles sp. were exophagic and zoophilic with the highest activities between 06.00-08.00 pm. This was in contras to Aedes sp. where mosfly found endophilic and it has 2 hightime of activities Aedes sp. between 06.00- 07.00 AM and 05.00-06.00 PM.

Pyrethroids are powerful insecticides used in the vector control program with impregnated mesh, and residual indoor sprays. However, resistance to insecticide reduces the effectiveness. The present susceptibility study carried out against theAnopheles Stephensi to monitor the sensitivity conditions of An. Stephensi vector, which raises the need to understand the state of vector resistance in the Dungarpur region of Rajasthan, India in order to better report vector-based interventions. The sensitivity study was carried out by the WHO standard method using recommended diagnostic doses of DDT, alpha-cypermethrin, permethrin, and deltamethrin. An. Stephensi showed resistance to DDT from the entire study while sensitive to alpha-cypermethrin, permethrin, and deltamethrin. The study looks at the selection and circulation of the appropriate insecticide’s molecule for a vector control program as insecticide need constant monitoring to develop effective vector control strategies such as improving insecticide by applying integrated biological and ecological methods.

Abstract Although malaria is endemic in some areas of southeastern Iran, following the successful national malaria elimination plan, the local transmission area has been shrunk. The main cases in Iran are due to Plasmodium vivax followed by P. falciparum. This study was aimed to determine the current situation of malaria in Kerman Province of Iran and evaluate the insecticide resistance of main vectors. The field study was conducted in 2019. Data of new malaria cases were obtained from the health centers for the period of 2009–2018. Susceptibility status of Anopheles stephensi and An. dthali was evaluated against dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, Dieldrin, Malathion, Bendiocarb, Deltamethrin, and Temephos at the diagnostic dose. A total of 522 malaria cases were recorded and divided into indigenous (33.14%) and imported (66.86%) categories. The highest incidence of the disease was reported from the southern areas of the province, where all indigenous cases occurred. Adults of An. stephensi were resistant to dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane while its resistance to be confirmed to dieldrin, bendiocarb and deltamethrin. As An. dthali had less than 98% mortality against bendiocarb, the resistance status should be confirmed with more tests. Our findings showed both species had less than 98% mortality against bendiocarb and deltamethrin insecticides which are used in malaria vector control program in Iran. Due to the susceptibility of these vectors to temephos, larviciding can be advised for vector control in this area.
