    Objective To understand species, population density, and seasonality of flies in human dwellings and surroundings in China and provide the avenue for prevention and control of flies. Methods The surveillance data of flies by cage traps from 42 national surveillance sites were collected during 2006 and 2015. The species composition, density and seasonal and annual fluctuations of different speciesof flies in different habitats, and provinces were compared. Results Percentage of Chrysomya megacephala, Musca domestica, Lucilia sericata, and species of Sarcophagidae together was 75.54%; Density of C. megacephala was 2.23 flies per cage and was the highest. Its density in all 4 habitats were all highest of the monitored species; Musca domestica was the second and density was 1.64 flies per cage. Its density was higher in farm produce markets and outdoor of restaurant than in the other habitats. The third was 1.22 flies per cage of L. sericata and the density was higher in farm produce markets and in green belts. The fourth was 0.88 flies per cage of Sarcophagidae and its density in green belts was obviously higher than in other habitats. Overall, the density of flies was decreasing from 2006 to 2015, except that in 2010. The density of flies from green belts and farm produce markets was similar and higher than that in other two places monitored which was also similar. Density in most provinces was lower than 10.00 flies per cage. Hainan province was 74.22 and was the highest. There was a single peak in June-August during the seasonal fluctuation of total flies. The seasonal fluctuation of every predominant species in different habitats and in most of years was similar. Conclusion Chrysomya megacephala, M. domestica, L. sericata, and species of Sarcophagidae were the predominant fly species in human dwellings and surroundings in China. The density of flies generally decreased since 2006.But surveillance can't be underemphasized. More attentions should be paid on fly control in green belts and in farm produce markets, for density in those habitats was higher than in other habitats. The density peaked in June-August. So, it was important to control flies before the peak occurred.

    Objective To analyze intervals between illness onset and confirmation of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) cases and related factors which will provide scientific information for its precise control and prevention. Methods Data on SFTS cases from 2011 to 2016 were obtained from China Information System for Diseases Control and Prevention. The intervals from illness onset to confirmation of SFTS cases in different genders, age groups, occupations, seasons, and provinces were summarized and compared using SPSS 20.0 software. Results A total of 5 360 SFTS cases were reported in China from 2011 to 2016 and the median interval from illness onset to confirmation of these cases was 9 d. Intervals from illness onset to confirmation of SFTS cases were significantly different from year to year and the maximum median of the interval of SFTS in 2014. Intervals between illness onset and confirmation of SFTS cases from different provinces were also significantly different, the intervals of Hubei province were the longest and the intervals of Zhejiang province were the shortest. Conclusion Although there were differences in the intervals of SFTS cases from different years, provinces and individual cases, the intervals were nevertheless very long. Appropriate interventions should be implemented to shorten the intervals for the control and prevention of SFTS.

    Objective To understand the resistance dynamics of Blattella germanica to commonly used insecticide beta-cypermethrin, and provide the basis for the integrated pest management in different districts. Methods Insecticide resistance of 11 field strains B. germanica collected from hotels, gasthaus, farmer's markets, and small restaurants in Dongcheng, Xicheng, Chaoyang, Changping, Miyun, Huairou, Daxing, Shijingshan, Shunyi, Fangshan, and Mentougou district in 2014 and 2016, during May to July each year, were detected by surface contact method. The resistant ratio (RR) was calculated for each strain. Results The susceptibility of the field B. germanica strains to insecticide tested varied from different districts. The Dongcheng, Miyun, Huairou, Daxing, Xicheng, and Changping strains showed decreasing susceptibility to beta-cypermethrin, but Shijingshan, Chaoyang, Shunyi, Fangshan, and Mentougou strains showed increasing trend. The 11 field strains of B. germanica had low levels of resistance with RRs between 1.01 and 5.14 folds in 2014 and 2016 to beta-cypermethrin, except Shunyi strains with moderate resistance in 2014. The resistance change of Dongcheng and Mentougou stains was the widest, RR increased from 2.39 to 4.44 folds in Dongcheng strain, while RR decreased from 4.58 to 2.73 folds in Mentougou strain. Conclusion Field collected strains of B. germanica in different districts in Beijing had already developed different levels of resistance to beta-cypermethrin in 2014 and 2016. Based on the integrated pest management strategy, insecticides should be applied reasonably according to the local resistance surveillance results to control the cockroach effectively.

    Objective To understand the insecticide resistance status of Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus and Aedes albopictus in Guiyang, China, to provide scientific basis in rational use of chemical insecticides for management of mosquito-borne diseases. Methods Larval mosquitoes of Cx. pipiens quinquefasciatus and Ae. albopictus were collected in 5 districts and 3 counties of Guiyang, and were reared in the insectary. The larvae dipping method was used to detect the insecticide resistance to the four insecticides. Results The resistance ratios of Cx. pipiens quinquefasciatus larvae to dichlorvos, parathion, beta-cypermethrin, and deltamethrin were 5.07-10.79, 8.16-10.20, 13.92-27.22, and 100.00-226.32 fold. The resistance ratios of Ae. albopictus larvae to the four insecticides were 7.61-25.69, 4.76-28.57, 6.42-76.19, and 14.75-59.02 fold. Conclusion Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus and Ae. albopictus larvae in Guiyang have developed certain resistance, in which the mosquito had a higher resistance to pyrethroid insecticides. We suggest reducing or avoiding pyrethroid insecticides for a single, extensive and long-term use, and to strengthen the insecticide resistance surveillance for better mosquito prevention and control.

    Objective To characterize platelet activation and its correlations with parasitemia in peripheral blood of mice infected by Babesia microti. Methods BALB/c mice were intraperitoneally inoculated with B. microti infected blood, which was collected, heparinized, and diluted with sterile saline to achieve a 30% RBC parasitic infection rate. Following the infection, anti-coagulated peripheral blood was collected from the mice at each day. The blood was stained with anti-CD61 and anti-CD62P antibodies, and then used to analyze the activation of platelet with flow cytometry. Furthermore, the percentage of parasitized red blood cells was determined via Giemsa-stained thin blood films. Finally, Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the correlation of platelet activation and parasitemia. Results The percentage of platelet activation started to increase on the second day post infection, reached the peak on the third day[(15.50±0.17)%], and declined from the fourth day, but was absence of obvious regularities. The percentage of parasitized red blood cells gradually ascended post infection and reached the peak at the eighth day[(63.10±3.43)%], and then declined. However, there was no significant difference between the percentage of platelet activation and parasitized red blood cells, which was characterized by Pearson correlation analysis (P>0.05). Conclusion The platelet activation can be induced by B. microti infection, but it has no significant correlation with parasitemia.

    Objective To investigate epidemiological characteristics of imported dengue fever in Daozhen county, the species and density of local Aedes mosquitoes, and provide basis for prevention and control. Methods Epidemiological investigation was carried out on dengue fever cases and other returnees in July 2016. The dengue IgM antibody of the serum returnees were detected by ELISA, and investigating the Aedes mosquitoes in the town where the cases reside was carried out by human baiting and Breteau index(BI). Results There were 5 clinical cases, 2 suspected cases, 1 asymptomatic infection among all 26 returnees from Maldives, with morbidity rate 30.77%. Six sera were positive for dengue IgM antibody, 7 cases were treated and recovered. Other 19 asymptomatic individuals were quarantined for 14 d, and no new clinical cases emerged. Investigating the Aedes mosquitoes in towns of Yuxi, Hekou, and Zongping revealed that landing rate on human was 2.4, the mosquito density was more than C level (human landing rate less than 1.5). BI was 7.0, slightly higher than the threshold for the spread of dengue fever (BI ≤ 5). Conclusion An imported dengue fever outbreak from Maldives occurred in Daozhen county in 2016. There was no secondary dengue transmission locally, because of the effective preventive measures.

    Objective To understand the current situation of rabies incidence and exposure in Shunyi district of Beijing,and evaluate the risk of rabies, discuss the prevention and control strategy of rabies, and provide scientific evidences for prevention and control measures against rabies for the residents. Methods Retrospective the history of rabies incidence data since beginning of the records in Shunyi district, epidemiological analysis was carried out on the surveillance data on populations exposed to rabies in rabies immune prevention clinics during 2002-2016 and cases of single dog causing many injuries during 2010-2016. Results A total of 26 cases of rabies were reported in Shunyi district during 1960-2016,including 6 cases during 2010-2016; animal-wounded cases were 124 019 from 2002 to 2016, the ratio male cases to female ones was 1.26:1, and the male cases were higher than female ones (χ2=228.450,P<0.05). There was an obvious seasonal peak in summer, 54 665 cases (44.10%) occurred during May to August. Lower limbs and hands were most vulnerable to be bitten, which was 100 955 cases (81.40%). The majority of the injured were middle-aged and young, accounting for 51.13%, workers and peasants (32.68%) accounted for the most, followed by staff (30.91%). More than 75% of cases were caused by dogs, and only 35.58% of which the owner can be found have been vaccinated against rabies within one year. A total of 49 356 cases (50.08%) of rabies-exposed people were grade Ⅲ exposure during 2008-2016, while there were 8 432 cases (17.08%) of which received passive immunization. The rate of passive immunity remained low, only reaching 32.56% in 2009 but 20% in other years. During 2010-2016, 20 cases of single dog causing many injuries were reported, among which 44 people from 8 occurrences were followed for the whole course of vaccination, and accounted for 90.91%. Conclusion Dogs should be managed strictly and vaccinated in a timely manner. Popularizing the knowledge of rabies prevention and control and promptly disposing of rabies exposure in accordance with standards are critically important. It is suggested to add clinics of secondary hospital or above to treat the wounds, to establish surveillance mechanism for full vaccination of rabies. It is suggested that the government should further incorporate the cost of medical treatment for the injured personnel into the scope of the NCMS and the urban medical insurance. Long-term monitoring mechanism for animal rabies should be established. Collaborative efforts are needed among health, police department, animals supervising agencies and other members of dog management.

    Objective To determine the population distribution and seasonal dynamics of cockroaches for effective prevention and control in Lanzhou city, Gansu province, China. Methods We used glue boards to catch the Blattella (cockroaches). We selected 3 survey sites in Lanzhou city and placed the glue boards at the 15th of each month from 2006 to 2015. For each site, the investigators randomly selected two catering establishments, one farm product market, one hotel, one hospital and one residential area. All the sites were relatively fixed. The correlations between cockroach density and infestation rate were tested by one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and Bivariate Correlations. Results From 2006 to 2015, we placed 21 600 glue boards at chosen sites, and retrieved 21 126 boards, which caught 43 685 cockroaches. They were all B. germanica. The infestation rate was 13.86% and the average density was 2.07 per board. The density of farm product markets was the highest (3.28/board) and hospital was the lowest (0.26/board). The infestation rate of cockroach was positively associated with the density (r=0.892, P<0.01). Conclusion Blattella germanica was the predominant species in Lanzhou city. The population density peak was from June to October during 2006 to 2015. We should take measures to control cockroaches in April and May before the onset of the cockroach density peak.

    Objective To understand the epidemic situation of human brucellosis in Bay county in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (Xinjiang), China in 2015 and provide the scientific basis for controlling human brucellosis in the future. Methods The data of human brucellosis were collected from all 16 towns in Bay county which had serological examination in persons with clinical symptoms and contact history from February 23 to September 18, 2015. The positive rate was compared with Chi square test. Results Serological detection was performed on 920 samples, of which 125 samples produced positive results (serum test positive rate 13.59%), the average prevalence was 12.93%, and the asymptomatic infection rate was 0.65%. Bulong and Yatur township prevalence rates were 37.50% and 33.33% respectively. The positive rate of serological test in males was 15.68%, higher than that in females 10.41% (χ2=5.198,P=0.023). The positive rates of serological test in students, herdsmen and farmers were 18.42%, 14.47%, and 14.17% respectively. Conclusion The high positive rate of serological test for brucellosis in Bay county warrants attention by the local government and the administrative departments of health. The emphases of infection populations were students, young farmers and herdsmen occupational groups, so we should carry out extensive health education about knowledge of brucellosis prevention, focusing on local schools and agricultural and pastoral areas to strengthen prevention and control measures.
