- Abstract: Objective To investigate the effect of mosquito control at public environment in residential areas with property management in Wuhan from 2016 to 2018, and to provide background information for making scientific mosquito control strategies in residential areas. Methods The control rate of mosquito route index was taken as the evaluation index. A retrospective analysis of the ocular monitoring results of mosquito breeding sites in the public external environment of property communities in Wuhan from 2016 to 2018 was conducted. Chi-square test was used to compare the route index control rate between different years. Results The residential areas with property management that were effectively incorporated into surveillance were 179 in 2016, 437 in 2017 and 548 in 2018, while the control rate of route index was 51.40%, 59.27% and 41.06%, respectively. The outcome of statistical analysis indicated that the control rate of mosquito route index monitored in 2018 at external environment of residential areas with property management was significantly lower than that in 2017 (χ2=26.342，P<0.001). However, there was no significant difference between the control rate of route index monitored in 2016 and that in later two years. Conclusion Mosquito control effect at public environment on property management areas in Wuhan declined during the consolidation phase of the establishment of national health city. Relevant departments should make effort to explore more reasonable and scientific management strategies and measures for mosquito control to provide more healthy and safe living environment for city residents in Wuhan.
