Malaria is the most important vector-borne disease in Southeast Asia. It is estimated that the region accounts for 30% of the global malaria morbidity and 8% of the global mortality. Malaria epidemiology in this region is characterized by high spatial and temporal heterogeneity in falciparum and vivax malaria incidences, and by the presence of diverse vector species with different vectorial capacities for the parasites. The sympatric occurrence of multiple vector species with distinct bionomics and vectorial capacity complicates our understanding of malaria transmission and hinders malaria control efforts. Currentiy, pyrethroid insecticide-treated nets and pyrethroid-based indoor residual spray are the primary vector control tools in the region. However, the evolution and spread of insecticide resistance and drug resistance reduce the efficacy of these tools. Therefore, understanding the vectorial system and developing new vector control and resistance monitoring tools are of paramount importance. The overarching objectives of this project are to understand the vectorial system in diverse ecological and epidemiological settings in China, Thailand and least studied Myanmar, and to develop new vector control tools to reduce malaria transmission. To achieve these objectives, we have developed five specific aims: 1) to determine community structure of malaria vectors and the impact of anthropogenic environmental changes on vector community structure; 2) to examine the populafion genefic structure and bionomics of major malaria vector species; 3) to develop new olfacfion-based tools for control and transmission surveillance of the major malaria vectors; 4) to examine the ufility of a new formulafion of microbial larvicide and entomopathogenic fungi for adult mosquito control; and 5) to determine pyrethroid resistance mechanisms and develop resistance monitoring tools for the major malaria vectors in the region. We anficipate the new knowledge and new tools from this project will greatly contribute to the malaria control program in Southeast Asia.

疟疾是东南亚最重要的媒介传播疾病。估计该地区 占全球疟疾发病率的 30% 和全球死亡率的 8%。该地区疟疾流行病学的特点是恶性疟和间日疟发病率具有高度的空间和时间异质性，并且存在对寄生虫具有不同媒介能力的多种媒介物种。 具有不同生物学特性和媒介能力的多种媒介物种的同域出现 使我们对疟疾传播的理解变得复杂，并阻碍疟疾控制工作。目前，拟除虫菊酯杀虫剂处理的蚊帐和基于拟除虫菊酯的室内滞留喷雾剂是该地区主要的病媒控制工具。然而，杀虫剂抗性和抗药性的进化和传播降低了这些工具的功效。因此，了解矢量系统并开发新的矢量控制和抗性监测工具至关重要。该项目的总体目标是了解中国、泰国和研究最少的缅甸不同生态和流行病环境中的媒介系统，并开发新的媒介控制工具以减少疟疾传播。为了实现这些目标，我们制定了五个具体目标：1）确定疟疾媒介的群落结构以及人为环境变化对媒介群落结构的影响； 2）检查主要疟疾病媒物种的种群基因结构和生物组学； 3) 开发新的基于嗅觉的工具，用于主要疟疾病媒的控制和传播监测； 4) 检验微生物杀幼虫剂和昆虫病原真菌的新配方用于控制成蚊的效用； 5) 确定拟除虫菊酯耐药机制并开发针对该地区主要疟疾病媒的耐药性监测工具。我们预计该项目的新知识和新工具将为东南亚的疟疾控制计划做出巨大贡献。
