随着全球消灭疟疾努力的加强，关于病媒种群和传播动态的准确信息对于指导控制工作、开发新的控制工具和预测这些干预措施在各种条件下的效果至关重要。目前可用的蚊子种群监测采样工具受到公认的局限性。正如本研讨会摘要中所报告的，最近医学昆虫学家、模型制作者和疟疾专家的一次聚会审查了这些问题，并一致认为需要努力改进监测关键传播参数的方法。已确定的需要包括对蚊子成虫和幼虫进行采样的标准化方法、改进蚊子物种识别和年龄分级的工具以及确定昆虫接种率的更好手段。
As global efforts to eliminate malaria intensify, accurate information on vector populations and transmission dynamics is critical for directing control efforts, developing new control tools, and predicting the effects of these interventions under various conditions. Currently available sampling tools for mosquito population monitoring suffer from well-recognized limitations. As reported in this workshop summary, a recent gathering of medical entomologists, modelers, and malaria experts reviewed these issues and agreed that efforts are needed to improve methods to monitor key transmission parameters. Identified needs include standardized methods for sampling of both mosquito adults and larvae, improved tools for mosquito species identification and age-grading, and a better means for determining the entomological inoculation rate.
