许多后工业化城市的基础设施退化增加了潜在蚊子栖息地的可得性，包括支持侵入性病媒侵扰的容器栖息地。这项研究的独特之处在于，它检查了许多城市街区间社会经济条件的细微变化，包括未成熟和成年蚊子的丰度。我们假设与基础设施退化相关的大量垃圾将支持更多的蚊子生产，但相反，在社会经济水平较高、低腐烂街区的包裹中发现了更多的蚊子幼虫和寻找宿主的成虫（86%）。白纹伊蚊和淡库蚊的丰度分别是其5.61倍（p < 0.001）和4.60倍（p = 0.001）。大多数丢弃的（垃圾）容器在蚊子繁殖高峰期是干燥的，发生在有记录以来最热的7月5日。与人类住所有关的容器更有可能盛水并含有未成熟的蚊子。我们建议将蚊子的生产从季节早期的雨水喂养的无管理容器转换为季节中期有目的地遮蔽或浇水的容器栖息地。该研究表明，当当地容器生境与环境约束有效脱钩时，居住在社会经济水平较高、城市衰败程度较低的地区的居民在蚊子繁殖高峰期可能面临更大的蚊媒疾病风险。
Infrastructure degradation in many post-industrial cities has increased the availability of potential mosquito habitats, including container habitats that support infestations of invasive disease-vectors. This study is unique in examining both immature and adult mosquito abundance across the fine-scale variability in socio-economic condition that occurs block-to-block in many cities. We hypothesized that abundant garbage associated with infrastructure degradation would support greater mosquito production but instead, found more mosquito larvae and host-seeking adults (86%) in parcels across the higher socio-economic, low-decay block. Aedes albopictus and Culex pipiens were 5.61 (p < 0.001) and 4.60 (p = 0.001) times more abundant, respectively. Most discarded (garbage) containers were dry during peak mosquito production, which occurred during the 5th hottest July on record. Containers associated with human residence were more likely to hold water and contain immature mosquitoes. We propose that mosquito production switches from rain-fed unmanaged containers early in the season to container habitats that are purposefully shaded or watered by mid-season. This study suggests that residents living in higher socioeconomic areas with low urban decay may be at greater risk of mosquito-borne disease during peak mosquito production when local container habitats are effectively decoupled from environmental constraints.
