Project Summary Each year, approximately 400 million people are infected with an arboviral disease from the bite of an Aedes spp mosquito. Aedes spp. mosquitoes are a leading public health threat due to their high competency to vector multiple pathogens, their preference to bite humans, and their ability to adapt to new domestic environments. In the US, reintroduction and establishment of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquito populations has resulted in local epidemics of Zika, dengue and chikungunya in the past decade. Unfortunately, mosquito control programs in the US generally operate with limited budgets, forcing the majority of insecticide spraying to be conducted in reaction to population exposure instead of targeted prevention, which has also contributed to considerable growth of insecticide resistant populations, yielding a widening gap of infrastructure vulnerability. Our current proposal aims to leverage existing technologies from non-health disciplines to advance mosquito detection and abatement. We propose to validate the use of technology-driven mosquito traps that allow for high- throughput identification and counting of Aedes mosquitos at various life stages to inform decision making when selecting areas for insecticide spraying and abatement. Additionally, we propose to develop rigorous remote sensing workflows for identification of neighborhood-level Aedes abundance risk and rapid detection of individual Aedes mosquito breeding habitats on a household-level. This innovative proposal uses multi-year and real-world mosquito data from two different metropolitan areas to statistically adjust for variances in geographic ecologies, urban microclimates, seasonal climate patterns, and annual weather events. Our study will result in low-cost tools immediately ready for broad distribution and integration by vector control agencies nationally. The outcomes of our study have promise to directly impact vector control agency’s decision-making processes for mosquito trapping site selection, inform preventative abetment protocols, and shorten the time required for mosquito collection and identification. Further, integration of our proposed technology traps and informed site selection maps will increase overall collection volumes while preserving scarce resources for local vector control agencies. This proposal has the potential to create a paradigm shift in how we approach vector control globally, with a targeted intervention resulting in significant economic, environmental, and clinical benefits.

项目概要 每年，大约有 4 亿人因伊蚊叮咬而感染虫媒病毒疾病 蚊子属。伊蚊属蚊子是主要的公共卫生威胁，因为它们具有很强的传播媒介能力 多种病原体、它们叮咬人类的偏好以及适应新家庭环境的能力。在 在美国，埃及伊蚊和白纹伊蚊种群的重新引入和建立已 在过去的十年里，导致了寨卡、登革热和基孔肯雅热的局部流行。不幸的是，蚊子控制 美国的项目通常预算有限，迫使大部分杀虫剂喷洒工作 是为了应对人群暴露而不是有针对性的预防而进行的，这也导致了 抗杀虫剂种群大幅增长，导致基础设施脆弱性差距扩大。 我们当前的提案旨在利用非健康学科的现有技术来推进蚊子防治 检测和消除。我们建议验证技术驱动的捕蚊器的使用，该捕蚊器可以实现高 对不同生命阶段的伊蚊进行吞吐量识别和计数，以便在何时做出决策 选择喷洒杀虫剂和减少杀虫剂的区域。此外，我们建议开发严格的远程 用于识别社区级伊蚊丰度风险并快速检测个体的传感工作流程 家庭层面的伊蚊繁殖栖息地。这项创新提案使用了多年和现实世界的经验 来自两个不同大都市区的蚊子数据，以根据地理生态的差异进行统计调整， 城市小气候、季节性气候模式和年度天气事件。我们的研究将带来低成本 工具立即可供全国病媒控制机构广泛分发和整合。这 我们的研究结果有望直接影响病媒控制机构的决策过程 选择诱蚊地点，告知预防性刺激方案，并缩短诱捕所需的时间 蚊子采集和识别。此外，我们提出的技术陷阱和知情网站的整合 选择图将增加总体收集量，同时保留用于当地病媒控制的稀缺资源 机构。该提案有可能使我们在全球范围内进行病媒控制的方式发生范式转变， 有针对性的干预可带来显着的经济、环境和临床效益。
