法国卫生部门：“以蚊灭蚊”控制蚊媒疾病效果有待评估

Core Viewpoint - The effectiveness of various mosquito release technologies in controlling mosquito populations and reducing disease outbreaks varies, and the feasibility of "using mosquitoes to eliminate mosquitoes" requires further evaluation [1][2] Group 1: Mosquito Release Technologies - Three main technologies for mosquito release are identified: Sterile Insect Technique (SIT), Incompatible Insect Technique (IIT), and Population Replacement Technique (PRT) [1] - SIT shows "definite" evidence in reducing the egg hatching rate of Aedes albopictus, while for Aedes aegypti, the evidence is "likely" [2] - IIT can reduce the egg hatching rates and female mosquito populations of all three Aedes species [2] - PRT has a "definite" effect on reducing the incidence of dengue fever, with a "possible" effect on reducing chikungunya fever incidence [2] Group 2: Data and Recommendations - The French National Health Security Agency indicates a lack of sufficient data to determine whether these technologies can significantly reduce the incidence of mosquito-borne diseases [2] - There are concerns about potential unintended effects of mosquito releases, such as disrupting food chains and altering virus transmission patterns among populations [2] - The agency calls for further data collection, comprehensive evaluations, and monitoring of risk indicators to develop appropriate control measures [2] Group 3: Current Disease Situation - As of this spring, France has reported 484 cases of locally transmitted chikungunya and 21 cases of locally transmitted dengue fever [2]
