CURRENT DISTRIBUTION OF AEDES AEGYPTI IN LEIZHOU PENINSULA, ZHANJIANG CITY, GUANGDONG PROVINCE
Journal Title: Acta Parasitologica et Medica Entomologica Sinica - Year 2025, Vol 32, Issue 1
Abstract
[Objective] To investigate the status of population dynamics and distribution changes of Aedes aegypti in Guangdong Province. [Methods] Continuous monitoring was conducted from May 2018 to July 2024 in Wushi Town and Qishui Town, Leizhou City, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province. Additionally, a survey of the distribution of Ae. aegypti along the Leizhou Peninsula coast was carried out. [Results] The density of Ae. aegypti in Zhanjiang showed a gradual decline from 2018 to 2024. The last detection of adult Ae. aegypti in Wushi Town was in September 2021, and the last larva was found in October 2023. No Ae. aegypti was detected in Qishui Town during surveys from 2021 to 2024. A survey of 18 coastal villages in the Leizhou Peninsula revealed no detections of Ae. aegypti. [Conclusions] This study provides a basis for understanding the distribution and population density fluctuations of Ae. aegypti, assessing its invasion risk, and scientifically conducting relevant prevention and control efforts.
