Abstract

Public health centers in cities and provinces across Korea carry out control activities in various ways to reduce the density of mosquito vectors, but most public health centers routinely and periodically performed. In this study, a daily digital mosquito monitoring system (DMS) was used to switch from periodic control to evidence-based selective mosquito control. For the surveillance area, mosquito habitats within a radius of 100 m were investigated centered on four DMS points installed near the Seobuk-gu public health center in Cheonan. As a result, the number of mosquito controls decreased by 69.0% (29 times → 9 times) on average, and the total number of mosquito complaints decreased by 41.5% (41 cases → 24 cases) compared to the previous year. Therefore, it was confirmed that controls based on mosquito outbreak information using DMS is a method to achieve the original purpose of control by reducing infectious disease vectors while reducing the control burden on public health centers. By applying these results to various areas, it is intended to implement environmentally friendly control by minimizing the use of pesticides.
