Comparative analysis of Aedes albopictus surveillance index in Yangpu District, Shanghai
Journal Title: Shanghai Journal of Preventive Medicine - Year 2024, Vol 36, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective To analyze the interannual fluctuation, seasonal fluctuation, habitat distribution and the correlation of the 3 monitoring indicators of Aedes albopictus in Yangpu District of Shanghai from 2017 to 2021, and to provide a scientific basis for A. albopictus control and rational use of the indicators.Methods The density surveillance data of A. albopictus recorded by Breteau index (BI), Path index (PI) and the mosquito ovitrap index (MOI) from 2017 to 2021 in Yangpu District, Shanghai were compared. Microsoft Excel 2019 software was used for data summary and SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results From 2017 to 2021, there were two months with BI>5, and the PI were all above the density control level of Class C, and there were nine months with MOI≥5. In 2017, BI was higher than in the other four years, with statistically significant differences (all P≤0.001). MOI in 2017 and 2020 was higher than in 2019 (P=0.029, P=0.004) and 2021 (P=0.005, P=0.001), with statistical significance. MOI for different types of habitats varied significantly, with a statistically significant difference (P=0.004). A linear correlation was observed between BI and PI (r=0.462, P=0.010).Conclusion BI, PI and MOI are used simultaneously to reflect the density of A. albopictus in Yangpu District of Shanghai. However, these three monitoring indicators show poor linear correlation. Comprehensively considering the scientific aspects of monitoring methods and seasonal fluctuations of indicators, it is suggested that MOI should be used as the main index to evaluate the density of A. albopictus. In the MOI, attention should be paid to factors such as the distribution of the habitats, the standardization of operating methods, and quality control, which are essential for enhancing the reliability of the MOI.
