Abstract:

Objective In order to know the species, insecticide susceptibility, application, raising conditions and keeping staff of laboratory disease vectors, we carried out the survey in 2013. It helps to establish the Chinese standard system of laboratory vectors and promote the study of the discipline. Methods The respondents included all levels of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, scientific institutions and some of the Universities in China. The survey was carried out with telephone and email questionnaire. Data were analyzed with the statistical methods to know the results all about the laboratory vectors. Results We received 49 questionnaires from 45 agencies. There were 214 kinds of vector populations of laboratory vectors including mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, fleas, ticks, bed-bug, rodents and other pests of public health. Among them, 71.03% of laboratory vector populations were susceptible to certain pesticides. The purposes to breed and maintain the laboratory vector populations were the evaluation of insecticide products for public health, research on vector control technology, surveillance of insecticide resistance, study on the vector ecology and the mechanism of vector-borne diseases transmission. Conclusion The populations of laboratory vectors were abundant in China and the majority was mosquitoes, cockroaches and flies. However, some important disease vectors, such as sand fly, were absent from the Chinese laboratories according to this survey.
