Abstract:
Objective To investigate the malaria vectors in Nanyang City. Methods Two townships were selected as malaria vector surveillance sites in Nanyang City from 2005 to 2017, including Mazhenfu Township in Tanghe County and Huaiyuan Township in Tongbai County, and the malaria vectors were investigated using the semi-overnight human baiting trapping method and mosquito trapping in nets. Results The mean density of Anopheles sinensis was 0.65 to 22.30 mosquitos/(person · hour) in the two surveillance sites in Nanyang City using the human baiting trapping method from 2005 to 2017, and the peak density was detected in June and July. An. anthropophagus was captured only in Tongbai County during the period between 2008 and 2011, with a mean density of 0.03 to 1.10 mosquitos/(person · hour). The mean density of An. sinensis was 0.08 to 0.24 mosquitos/(net · night) using the mosquito trapping in nets from 2005 to 2011, and the peak density was detected in July and August, while few An. anthropophagus captured only in Tongbai County, with a mean density of 0.01 to 0.02 mosquitos/(net · night). Conclusions There are malaria vectors in Nanyang City, including An. sinensis and An. anthropophagus, and An. sinensis is the dominant mosquito species.
