Guidelines to site selection for population surveillance and mosquito control trials: a case study from Mauritius.

摘要: Many novel approaches to controlling mosquito vectors through the release of sterile and mass reared males are being developed in face increasing insecticide resistance other limitations current methods. Before full scale programmes can be undertaken there is a need for surveillance target population, investigation parameters such as dispersal longevity released, compared wild mark-release-recapture (MRR) experiments, before small pilot trials conducted. The nature sites used this field work crucial ensure that trial feasibly collect sufficient relevant information, given available resources practical limitations, having secured correct regulatory, community ethical approvals support. Mauritius considering inclusion insect technique (SIT), population reduction Aedes albopictus, component Ministry Health Quality Life's 'Operational Plan Prevention Control Chikungunya Dengue'. As part an into feasibility integrating SIT Integrated Vector Management (IVM) scheme planned. Two potential have been selected purpose, Pointe des Lascars Panchvati, villages North East country, has commenced. This case study will here explore considerations which go determining most appropriate research. Although each situation unique, ideal site may not available, discussion aims help researchers consider balance important factors select meet their needs.
