研究了阿拉伯联合酋长国迪拜地区致倦库蚊成虫的杀虫防治效果。用氯氰菊酯作为雾剂直接处理研究地点，导致总数（雄性和雌性）和老年雌性比例暂时减少。在黄昏和黎明使用氯氰菊酯作为超低体积制剂时，雄虫数量明显减少，雌虫数量不受影响。从总体上看，灭虫操作对雌性的总数、存活率或繁殖成功率几乎没有影响。估计产卵周期为2天，每个产卵周期的存活率为30%。考虑到这些数值，人们认为丝虫病不太可能在迪拜传播。
The effectiveness of insecticidal control measures on adult Culex quinquefasciatus Say in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, was examined. Direct treatment of the study site with cypermethrin applied as a fog caused a temporary reduction both in total numbers (males and females) and in the proportion of older females. When cypermethrin was applied as an ultra low volume formulation at dusk and dawn numbers of males were greatly reduced, but numbers of females were not affected. It appears that the adulticiding operations had little overall effect on the total numbers or survival rate of females, or breeding success. The oviposition cycle duration was estimated to be two days, with the survival rate per oviposition cycle calculated as 30%. With these values it is thought unlikely that filariasis would be transmitted in Dubai.
