Original title: A wintering mosquito can produce more than a thousand "mosquitoes of the second generation" Shanghai has comprehensively carried out a raid to control wintering mosquitoes
Oriental Network reporter Liu Yilin reported on January 28: a wintering mosquito produces an average of more than 1,000 "mosquitoes of the second generation", killing wintering mosquitoes can effectively curb the base of mosquitoes in the next spring, greatly reduce the density of mosquitoes in summer, and is a key measure to cut off the transmission route of mosquito-borne infectious diseases such as dengue fever and Japanese encephalitis. The reporter recently learned from the Shanghai Municipal Patriotic Health Office that combined with the normalization of epidemic prevention and control work, Shanghai has planned to carry out wintering mosquito raid control activities, and there are currently 106713 places for disposal of breeding places, with a killing control area of 17.19 million square meters.
According to the shanghai municipal disease control department's survey of wintering mosquitoes, from mid-December last year to mid-January this year, the city's mosquito infestation rate decreased significantly, but there are still adult mosquitoes in warm, humid and sheltered places such as underground garages, indoor beds, backs of furniture, and bottoms of pools, especially in garages with higher temperatures on the 2nd and 3rd floors of the underground, and there are still mosquito larvae growing slowly in the collection wells.
According to the Shanghai Municipal Patriotic Health Office, Shanghai has organized more than 3,500 vector biological control professionals, combined with the "New Year" environmental remediation, and plans to carry out wintering mosquito control activities in basements, underground garages, stair aisles and other places prone to mosquito-dwelling breeding sites involved in the public environment, so as to prepare for the early preparation of mosquito-borne infectious diseases. At the same time, we will further strengthen the construction of vector biological emergency response teams at all levels, do a good job in emergency preparedness such as technical training, drug reserves, equipment maintenance and team drills, and ensure timely and effective handling of emergencies.
During the activity, the health departments at all levels organized the health cadres of the village committees to go into the households and units to carry out publicity, and extensively mobilized the masses to carry out environmental remediation, and concentrated on controlling 30,845 environmental places, including residential quarters, community activity points, public squares and park green spaces. At the same time, focusing on various underground spaces such as civil defense projects, basements, underground garages and underground stations of rail transit, as well as the catering industry and bazaars, professional and technical personnel are organized to carry out inspections and centralized control of wintering mosquitoes. Up to now, a total of 24,259 professionals have been dispatched, 85,930 prevention and control facilities have been improved, 106713 breeding sites have been disposed of, and the killing control area has reached 17.19 million square meters.
The Shanghai Municipal Patriotic Health Office said that the most critical way to control wintering mosquitoes is to keep the environment clean and clean up the hidden environment, so it calls on every family, every community and every unit in the city to start from now on, starting from the side, clean the environment, and do a good job in prevention and control. Households regularly carry out sanitary cleaning, maintain air circulation, remove debris, reduce sanitary dead ends, remove breeding places, especially balconies, kitchens, toilets, wardrobes and bookcases, etc.; timely clean up bottles, bottles and cans, aquatic ornamental plants often change water, and mosquitoes are found to be eliminated in time. All units should continue to carry out environmental cleaning activities, especially canteens, staff dormitories, toilets, garbage bin rooms, basements (garages) and other key places, once found that there are places where adult mosquitoes gather, professional institutions should be promptly asked to carry out disinfection. If the public has relevant questions, they can call the 12320 Shanghai Health Hotline for consultation. (Liu Yilin)
