流行病学证据表明，蚊子在人类传播中发挥了作用。布鲁里/拜恩斯代尔溃疡 (BU) 是一种由溃疡分枝杆菌引起的严重皮肤和软组织疾病。为了更好地了解 BU 是如何获得的，我们在澳大利亚东南部温带地区持续暴发期间进行了病例对照研究。我们从澳大利亚东南部新确认的 BU 流行区招募了 49 名成年 BU 患者和 609 名对照参与者。参与者被问及他们的生活方式和昆虫接触情况。使用逻辑回归计算优势比，并根据年龄和居住地点进行调整。经常使用驱虫剂、在户外穿长裤、立即清洗皮肤小伤口的人，患BU的几率至少减半；对于那些小腿或小臂被蚊子叮咬的人来说，被蚊子叮咬的几率至少增加了一倍。这项研究提供了新的间接证据，表明蚊子参与了澳大利亚东南部溃疡分枝杆菌的传播。
Epidemiologic evidence shows that mosquitoes play a role in transmission to humans. Buruli/Bairnsdale ulcer (BU) is a severe skin and soft tissue disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. To better understand how BU is acquired, we conducted a case–control study during a sustained outbreak in temperate southeastern Australia. We recruited 49 adult patients with BU and 609 control participants from a newly recognized BU-endemic area in southeastern Australia. Participants were asked about their lifestyle and insect exposure. Odds ratios were calculated by using logistic regression and were adjusted for age and location of residence. Odds of having BU were at least halved for those who frequently used insect repellent, wore long trousers outdoors, and immediately washed minor skin wounds; odds were at least doubled for those who received mosquito bites on the lower legs or lower arms. This study provides new circumstantial evidence that implicates mosquitoes in the transmission of M. ulcerans in southeastern Australia.
