本文讨论了布基纳法索城市地区的蚊子控制问题。主要目标是审查与使用生物杀灭剂的蚊子控制干预措施有关的社会文化方面，主要强调当地对蚊子滋扰的看法和蚊子控制的现有做法，包括在家庭一级采取保护措施的费用。这是1999年和2000年分别在布基纳法索两个主要城镇博博迪乌拉索和瓦加杜古开展的跨学科研究项目的报告。本研究的民族志部分采用了定量和定性相结合的方法。两个研究区均进行了两次问卷调查：一次是干预前(n=1083)，另一次是干预后(n=956)。此外，还进行了70次深度访谈和17次焦点小组讨论。调查结果显示，蚊子被认为是市区的一个重要问题，既是一种滋扰，也是一种健康风险，而且当地居民非常积极地在家庭层面实施蚊子控制措施。干预项目得到了当地居民的积极响应，感到的恼怒程度有所下降。蚊子和疟疾之间的因果关系是明确的，但蚊子和其他疾病之间的关系的解释框架仍在争论中。最常见的预防方法是蚊帐和喷雾剂，尽管蚊帐被认为是最有效和最有效的方法。仅在线圈和气雾剂方面的投资就意味着全国家庭卫生支出数字将增加40%。(C)2004爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This paper addresses the problems of mosquito control in urban areas of Burkina Faso. The main objectives are to examine relevant socio-cultural aspects in relation to a mosquito control intervention using a biolarvicide with main emphasis on local perceptions of mosquito nuisance and existing practices of mosquito control, including the cost of protective measures at household level. This is the report of an inter-disciplinary research project carried out in the two major towns of Burkina Faso, Bobo-Dioulasso and Ouagadougou, in 1999 and 2000, respectively. Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used in the ethnographic part of the study. Two questionnaire surveys were conducted in both study areas: one prior to the intervention (n = 1083) and the other after the intervention of the treatments with biolarvicide (n = 956). In addition, 70 in-depth interviews and 17 focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted. The findings show that mosquitoes are considered an important problem in the urban areas, both as a nuisance and a health risk and that the local population is very active in applying mosquito control measures at the household level. The intervention project was received positively by the local population with a decline in the perceived level of annoyance. The causal relationship between mosquitoes and malaria is clear, but the explanatory framework of the relationship between mosquitoes and other diseases is still under debate. The most common prevention methods are mosquito coils and aerosol spray, even though bed nets are perceived to be the most efficient and effective method. The investments in coils and aerosol sprays alone would mean an increase of 40% in the national figures for health expenditure at household level. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
