登革热媒介昆虫抗药性的研究进展

近年来,登革热在全球的流行迅速增长,埃及伊蚊Aedes aegypti(L.)和白纹伊蚊Aedes albopictus(Skuse)是登革热传播的主要媒介。目前,化学防治仍然是防治蚊虫的主要手段,每年化学杀虫剂的大量使用直接或间接地导致其产生了抗药性。关于埃及伊蚊和白纹伊蚊的抗药性研究,主要集中于DDT、有机磷和拟除虫菊酯类杀虫剂导致的抗药性,并已深入到抗药性分子机理的研究。文章就埃及伊蚊和白纹伊蚊对杀虫剂诱导的抗药性现状及抗性机理的研究进展进行综述。     

Lessons of Aedes aegypti control in Thailand

Abstract. The incidence of dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) in Thailand has increased cyclically since the first recognized outbreak in 1958. Without an effective vaccine against dengue, and considering the clinical difficulty of treating DHF cases, vector control is needed to prevent dengue transmission. Since the establishment of the WHO Aedes Research Unit in 1964, continued since 1973 as the WHO Collaborating Centre at the Department of Medical Research in Bangkok, much operational research has been carried out in Thailand on the bionomics and control of dengue vectors: Aedes aegypti and Ae.albopictus. This review shows that, as in most other countries, dengue vector control programmes in Thailand make little use of the procedures arising from research, nor have they reduced the upward trend of dengue or prevented DHF outbreaks. Implications of the reluctance to use results of operational research on vector control are considered and remedial suggestions made.     

登革热的传播模式、蚊媒及防控

在自然界存在两种登革热传播模式：人－伊蚊－人循环,蚊媒是埃及伊蚊与白纹伊蚊。猴－伊蚊－猴循环,蚊媒是白纹伊蚊与白雪伊蚊群。我国学者首先于1975年从无输入性病例的我国西南边疆山林地区的白纹伊蚊体内分离到登革热病毒4型,白纹伊蚊承担两种传播模式的中介。本研究介绍了埃及伊蚊与白纹伊蚊的生态习性与全球及在中国的分布。认为在我国厦门地区迄今为止还未曾发现过埃及伊蚊的存在,也简介了沃尔巴克体新技术防控蚊媒研究的进展。     

Ovitrap surveys of dengue vector mosquitoes in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand: seasonal shifts in relative abundance of Aedes albopictus and Ae. aegypti

Aedes aegypti (L.) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) were surveyed using ovitraps in residential areas in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand. Egg populations (both species inclusive) remained low in the dry season, but increased/decreased exponentially during the first/latter half of the rainy season, respectively. This seasonal pattern was similar to the seasonal distribution of dengue haemorrhagic fever cases in the area. During the dry season (November-March) Ae.aegypti was dominant in urban and indoor ovitraps. With onset of the rainy season in April, relative abundance of Ae.albopictus increased in rural and outdoor ovitraps. Ae.albopictus displaced Ae.aegypti in the latter half of the rainy season in the rural area. Possible mechanisms to account for this seasonal decline of Ae.aegypti and reciprocal fluctuations in relative abundance of Ae.albopictus are discussed in relation to food availability for larvae in container habitats.     

Herpetomonas,with Bacterium-like Inclusions,in Malaysian Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus*

SYNOPSIS Herpetomonas sp. was found repeatedly in the Malpighian tubules of laboratory-reared male and female Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in Malaysia. The flagellates occurred irregularly, in batches, and were absent during long periods. The data suggest an exogenous source of infection for the mosquitoes, presumably from another insect, probably of another genus. Thirty to 40% of the flagellates of Aedes contained intracytoplasmic rod-shaped structures strongly resembling bacteria. These were found often in groups suggesting intracellular multiplication. They were passed to the Herpetomonas daughter cells during division. Parasitism of Aedes by Herpetomonas is extremely unusual, only one previous record, an inconclusive one, having been found. Parasitism by Herpetomonas containing bacterium-like rods has apparently never been reported.     

Satyrization and satyrization‐resistance in competitive displacements of invasive mosquito species

Competitive displacements or reductions of resident populations of insects, often effected by a related species, may be caused by a variety of mechanisms. Satyrization is a form of mating interference in which males of one species mate with females of another species, significantly decreasing their fitness and not generating hybrids. Satyrization has been established to be the probable cause of competitive displacements of resident mosquitoes by invasive species, especially of Aedes aegypti by Aedes albopictus, two important vectors of dengue and chikungunya viruses. Mathematical models predict that even low levels of asymmetric mating interference are capable of producing competitive displacements or reductions. Couplings of virgin Ae. aegypti females with Ae. albopictus males effectively sterilize these females through the monogamizing actions of male accessory gland products, but the converse interspecific mating does not impact the future reproduction of Ae. albopictus females. Populations of Ae. aegypti exposed to satyrization quickly evolve resistance to interspecific mating, which is believed to ameliorate reproductive interference from, and promote co‐existence with, Ae. albopictus. The evolution of satyrization resistance among Ae. aegypti in laboratory cages is accompanied by fitness costs, such as reduced fecundity and slower receptivity to conspecific males. Cage experiments and field observations indicate that Ae. albopictus males are capable of satyrizing females of other species of the Stegomyia subgenus, potentially leading to competitive displacements, and possible extinctions, especially of endemic species on islands. Examination of other examples of reproductive interference in insects reveals few parallels to the mechanism and outcomes of satyrization by Ae. albopictus. We conclude by posing the hypothesis that satyrization may favor the ecological success of Ae. albopictus, and suggest many lines for future research on this phenomenon.     

Influence of breeding site availability on the oviposition behaviour of Aedes aegypti

Despite the importance of the mosquito Aedes aegypti in thetransmission of arboviruses, such as yellow fever, Chikungunya fever and denguefever, some aspects of their behaviour remain unknown. In the present study, theoviposition behaviour of Ae. aegypti females that were exposed todifferent densities of breeding sites (2, 4, 8 and 16) was evaluated in laboratoryand semi-field conditions. The number of breeding sites that were used wasproportional to the number available, but tended towards stabilisation. Females usedfour-six breeding sites on average, with a maximum of 11. A high percentage of eggswas observed in the water, along with the presence of a breeding site termed“favourite”, which received at least 40% of the eggs. The results are discussed inecological, evolutionary and epidemiological approaches.

Pathogenicity of entomopathogenic fungus,Metarhizium anisopliae MET-GRA4 isolate on dengue vectors,Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae (Diptera: Culicidae)

Considering the rapid transmission of the dengue virus, substantial efforts need to be conducted to ward-off the epidemics of dengue viruses. The control effort is depending on chemical insecticides and had aroused undesirable conflicts of insecticide resistance. Here, we study the entomopathogenic fungus, Metarhizium anisopliae as a promising new biological control agent for vector control. The pathogenicity effects of Metarhizium anisopliae against field and laboratory strains of Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti larvae were tested using the larvicidal bioassay technique. The results demonstrate that the treatments using M. anisopliae isolate MET-GRA4 were highly effective and able to kill 100% of both Ae. albopictus and Ae. aegypti mosquito larvae at a conidia concentration of 1 × 10?/ml within 7 days of the treatment period. The fungus displayed high larvicidal activity against laboratory and field strain of Ae. aegypti larvae with LC₅₀ values (9.6 × 10³/ml, 1.3 × 10³/ml) and LC₉₅ values (1.2 × 10?/ml, 5.5 × 10⁵/ml) respectively. For Ae. albopictus, LC₅₀ values for laboratory and field strains were (1.7 × 10⁴/ml, 2.7 × 10⁴/ml) and the LC₉₅ values were (2.1 × 10?/ml, 7.0 × 10⁵/ml) respectively. Interestingly, the susceptibility of field strain towards M. anisopliae was higher as compared to the laboratory strain Aedes larvae. In which, the causative agents of all the dead larvae were verified by the virulence of M. anisopliae and caused morphological deformities on larval body. The findings from this study identify this isolate could be an effective potential biocontrol agent for vector mosquitoes in Malaysia.
