Understanding Malaria Transmission: The Role of 蚊子es

写的

While considered rare within the United States today, malaria can be extremely common in humid, hot climates and is one of the highest-occurring vector diseases worldwide.

Scroll to learn more about malaria, its transmission via mosquitoes, 以及通过杀幼虫和其他免疫控制策略帮助遏制其在社区传播的方法.

What Causes Malaria: 间日疟原虫

疟疾是由红血球感染属于疟原虫的原生动物寄生虫引起的 疟原虫 genus, with five 物种 being primarily responsible for human 感染: 疟原虫 恶性疟原虫间日疟原虫疟原虫 malariae疟原虫那疟原虫 knowlesi. Each 物种 exhibits distinct characteristics, geographic distribution, severity of the disease they cause.

到目前为止,在佛罗里达州发现的所有疟疾病例都是由 间日疟原虫 物种——广泛分布于全球,但尤其以疟疾在亚洲的传播而闻名, 拉丁美洲, the Middle East. While generally less severe than P. 恶性疟原虫 感染, 疟疾是非洲最普遍的疟疾病因,占全世界与疟疾有关的死亡人数的大部分, P. 间日疟原虫 以其在肝脏中长时间休眠的能力而闻名, 在初次感染后数月甚至数年导致疾病复发.

Malarial Parasite’s Lifecycle: How Malaria Spreads from 按蚊 蚊子es to Humans

了解疟原虫的生命周期对于理解其传播和确定潜在的干预点以对抗它至关重要.

Malarial transmission requires two factors – a female 按蚊 蚊子和人类宿主——以及所谓的“叮咬和感染”机制.

The life cycle begins when a female 按蚊 mosquito, the vector, takes a blood meal from an infected human. 在吸血的同时,蚊子也摄入了疟原虫——在这种情况下, P. 间日疟原虫 – from the infected human’s bloodstream.

Inside the mosquito’s midgut, 疟疾寄生虫通过有性繁殖并发育成孢子体, the infective form of the parasite. 这个过程可能需要8到15天,在此期间蚊子必须存活下来. 然后这些孢子虫迁移并感染蚊子的唾液腺. 当蚊子叮咬并将孢子体注射到另一个人类宿主的血液中时,现在被认为是受感染的,并且准备好了传播疟疾寄生虫. 

此时此刻, the sporozoites travel to the human’s liver, 成熟的, 形成裂殖子, travel into the bloodstream, 感染并破坏红细胞,引发疟疾热的特征性症状, 发冷, 贫血, 器官衰竭. 

The Vector for Malaria: 按蚊 蚊子

Most mosquito 物种 are not able to transmit malaria. Even in the case of 按蚊, a mosquito known for its ability to vector malaria, not all 物种 are able to as some do not feed on humans, are not susceptible to human malaria parasites, or have too short of lifespans for the parasite to fully 成熟的.

不过,某些 按蚊 由于它们的摄食习惯,这些物种具有向人类传播疟疾的独特能力, favorable habitats for breeding larvae and maturing into biting, flying adults and susceptibility to the 疟原虫 寄生虫:

  1. 食习惯:女性 按蚊 mosquitoes require a blood meal to provide nutrients for their eggs. Unlike male mosquitoes the proboscis of female 按蚊 mosquitoes enables them to pierce the skin and access blood vessels.
  2. 人类偏好:的子集 按蚊 mosquitoes that serve as vectors strongly prefer feeding on humans, 特别是在人们休息和暴露在蚊子叮咬下的夜间. They also must already be relatively close to human populations. 这些行为使它们成为向人类传播疟疾的有效媒介.
  3. Salivary Gland Infection: Unlike most mosquito 物种, specific 按蚊 物种 不能防止病毒或寄生虫,他们摄取血液时从他们的中肠. 如果病毒或寄生虫到达并感染了它们的唾液腺——这个过程可能需要8到15天,蚊子必须在此期间存活下来——, 当它从另一个人类宿主身上吸食血液时,它会不经意地将孢子体注入血液. 然后,孢子虫进入肝脏,开始在新的宿主中感染疟疾. 

Control Strategies: Natular G30 蚊子 Larvicide

The EPA recommends an integrated mosquito management approach, which takes a holistic approach to mosquito control, including community education, 监测, 测绘, 幼虫控制, adult mosquito control.

For areas that are more urban or developed, 特别是减少蚊子数量的最佳方法之一是杀幼虫-利用产品瞄准未成熟的蚊子, 幼虫阶段, well before they emerge as flying, biting adults that can transmit 感染.

Hga010皇冠软件下载’s Natular® G30 is an OMRI Listed, 水溶性灭蚊幼虫制剂,从自然产生的土壤细菌(spinosad)中提取,对所有4龄幼虫有效. 它被证明可以控制20种最常见的病媒和讨厌的蚊子——包括疟疾病媒 按蚊 -最多30天.

Natular G30 is designed to kill mosquito larvae in bodies of water, can be applied to dry areas before flooding as a pre-hatch tool.  For applications by hand, 地面, 空气, 和无人驾驶飞机, G30配方非常适合常见的幼虫滋生地点,例如:

  • 淡水的网站
  • Storm water drainage areas
  • Sewers and catch basins
  • 路边沟渠
  • 保留池塘
  • 轮胎印、岩石洞、坑和类似的地方容易积水
