Abstract

Abstract: Termites cause great damage worldwide, especially to agricultural and forestry products and houses. Economic globalization and frequent international trade have increased the risk of long-distance transmission of termites. It is necessary to strengthen international exchanges and cooperation in termite control. Traditional buildings in Japan mostly have wooden structures that have been seriously damaged by termites. Therefore, Japan has advanced technologies and a long history of termite management. Literature on termite control by Japanese scholars, as well as official announcements, regulations, and standards issued by administrative departments were collected in this article. On this basis, the research on termite species and control technologies was summarized and the termite management authorities, laws, regulations, and technical standards in Japan were introduced. The management model and certification system of Japanese termite control industry were described in detail. Finally, termite control practices in China and in Japan were compared to show measures that may be adopted in China. Under the "Belt and Road" initiative, this review provided a reference to strengthen the management of termite control industry, formulate policies and measures, and promote international cooperation in China.

摘要： 白蚁是一种分布广、危害大的世界性害虫，可对农林作物、房屋建筑等造成严重危害。随着经济全球化，国际贸易日益频繁，增加了白蚁远距离传播和危害的风险，有必要加强国际区域间白蚁防治领域的交流和合作。日本传统上以木结构建筑为主，是白蚁危害严重的国家之一，在白蚁防治工作方面有深入的技术研究和悠久的管理经验。该文搜集了日本学者有关白蚁防治的研究文献以及行政管理部门的官方公告和法规标准，在此基础上，对日本白蚁种类和防治技术研究进行了概述，介绍了日本的白蚁防治管理机构、法律法规和技术标准，并对日本白蚁防治行业的管理模式和认证体系做了详细阐述。最后对比我国和日本的白蚁防治工作情况，指出可借鉴的方面，为我国在“一带一路”倡议下加强白蚁防治行业管理、制定政策措施、开展国际合作提供参考。
