| Research Abstract |
An ecological survey was conducted in 4 areas in 3 southeast Asian countries with different natural and socio-economical environments to numerically evaluate environmental factors affecting to vector mosquitoes and mosquito-borne infectious diseases.
Conserved forest had favored infestation by An. minimus with high density, and resulted in maintaining the malaria epidemic in northern Thailand. In Lombok island, Indonesia malaria epidemic also was more serious in mountainous villages than in coastal ones. The main vector mosquito infested in dark forests was firstly confirmed as An. balabacensis. The species was strongly anthropophagous, exophagous, and an early night biter indicating that using a bed net only for sleeping was imperfect to avoid bites with risk of malaria transmission. The repellency of a new pyrethroid with high volatility impregnated resin net was evaluated as an additional control tool. Two nets per outdoor stage (ca. 6m^2) could protect human baits from biting for 3 months. In Binphuc Province, Vietnam, another mountainous area, the main vector was An. dirus. Spatial distributions of malaria patients and An. dirus were both aggregative but the overlapping of focuses of the two parameters was quite low.
An epidemiological survey on Japanese encephalitis and its vector mosquitoes conducted in a rural village near Hanoi, Vietnam revealed that Culex gelidus was more important vectors than as considered before. The study also detected a new virus named Namdinh virus from mosquito and patients showing Japanese encephalitis like symptom.
