ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of a sustained releasing mosquito larvicide package against larval breeding and its impact on water and plant,in order to provide a scientific evidence for its application in control and prevention of Dengue.Methods Guangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention was chosen as the test place.Twenty test sites were set up,2 bags of sustained releasing larvicides package,1 bag of sustained releasing larvicides package,3 g 1% temephos granules and nothing were put into 4 glass bottles for each test site from July to December in 2014,respectively.The 4 glass bottles were called high dose (H) group,low dose (L)group,positive control (P) group and blank control (B) group,respectively.The 4 groups were observed at intervals of 10 days for 19 times.Environmental air temperature,turbidity of water,number of larvae and damage of plant were recorded.And 5 test sites were selected to collect water specimen.The chemical oxygen demand,ammonia nitrogen concentration and temephos concentration of water specimen were detected.Results The larval breeding rates were 0 (0/380),1.1% (4/380),0.8% (3/380) and 63.4% (241/380),damage rates of plant were 5.0% (19/380),5.5% (21/380),4.7% (18/380),4.7% (18/380) and turbidty rates of water were 24.5% (93/380),19.7% (75/380),33.4% (127/380) and 20.3% (77/380) in H,L,P and B groups,respectively.Statistically significant differences were seen in larval breeding rate and turbidity rate of water between different groups (x2 =823.565,24.715,all P < 0.05),but they were not seen in damage rate of plant (x2 =0.332,P > 0.05).The temephos concentrations were 1.24,0.78 and 2.33 mg/L in H,L and P groups,respectively.Statistically significant differences were seen in temephos concentration between different groups (H =35.426,P < 0.01),but they were not seen in chemical oxygen demand and ammonia nitrogen concentration (H =0.239,0.013,all P > 0.05).Conclusions The sustained releasing package of mosquito larvicide makes less pollution to water and has no impact on water turbidity.Moreover,it doesn't damage the aquatic plant.The efficacy of the sustained releasing package of mosquito larvicide could effectively prevent mosquito larval breeding in Dengue epidemic period.
