Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the outbreak of the Chikungunya virus in Guangdong, China, highlighting the urgent measures taken to control the spread of the disease, including mosquito eradication efforts and innovative biological control methods [1][2][6]. Group 1: Mosquito Eradication Efforts - Guangdong province reported 2,940 new local cases of Chikungunya from July 20 to July 26, prompting a week-long concentrated mosquito eradication campaign [1]. - Residents in Huangpu Town participate in lighting mosquito coils at 6 PM, the peak activity time for Aedes mosquitoes, to collectively drive mosquitoes away from homes [2]. - The campaign includes thorough inspections and cleaning of potential mosquito breeding sites, such as toilets, flower pots, and outdoor water accumulation areas [2]. Group 2: Innovative Control Methods - Researchers have developed an "electronic sentinel" that uses human scent simulators to attract and kill Aedes mosquitoes while monitoring their density in real-time [2]. - The introduction of the "Giant Mosquito," a natural predator of Aedes larvae, is noted, with one Giant Mosquito capable of consuming 80 to 100 Aedes larvae during its larval stage [3]. - A weekly production of 4 to 5 million sterilized male mosquitoes is being conducted at Sun Yat-sen University, which, when released, can significantly reduce the population of female mosquitoes by preventing the development of their eggs [3]. Group 3: Community Engagement and Education - In Tanzhou Town, residents have created a song to promote knowledge about mosquito prevention, emphasizing the importance of eliminating standing water to prevent mosquito breeding [6]. - The article highlights the ongoing challenges posed by high temperatures and rainfall in Guangdong, which create favorable conditions for mosquito reproduction, necessitating continued efforts in both chemical and biological control [6].

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the outbreak of the chikungunya virus in Guangdong, China, highlighting the urgent measures taken to control the spread of the disease, including mosquito eradication efforts and innovative biological control methods [1][12]. Group 1: Mosquito Eradication Efforts - Guangdong province reported 2,940 new local cases of chikungunya from July 20 to July 26, prompting a week-long concentrated mosquito eradication campaign [1]. - Residents in Zhongshan's Huangpu Town are participating in nightly activities to burn mosquito coils, targeting peak mosquito activity times to maximize effectiveness [1][3]. - The campaign includes thorough inspections and cleaning of potential mosquito breeding sites, such as toilets, flower pots, and outdoor water accumulation areas [3]. Group 2: Innovative Control Methods - A collaborative project has developed an "electronic sentinel" that uses human scent simulators to attract and kill mosquitoes while monitoring their density in real-time [5]. - The introduction of the larger "giant mosquito," a natural predator of the Aedes mosquito, is being tested, with one giant mosquito capable of consuming 80 to 100 Aedes larvae [5][8]. - The "mosquito factory" at Sun Yat-sen University produces 4 to 5 million sterilized male mosquitoes weekly, which, when released, can significantly reduce the population of wild female mosquitoes by preventing viable offspring [8][10]. Group 3: Community Engagement and Education - Local communities are actively engaged in mosquito control, with educational songs being created to promote awareness about eliminating standing water and preventing mosquito breeding [12]. - The ongoing high temperatures and rainfall in Guangdong create favorable conditions for mosquito breeding, necessitating continued efforts in both chemical and biological control strategies [12].

据央视新闻， "基 孔肯雅"，一个源于非洲坦桑尼亚南部的词汇。用来描述人们感染该病毒后，关节痛、弯腰驼背的样子。而长着花斑的伊 蚊，就是传播该病毒的头号杀手。根据广东省疾控局的消息，从7月20日零时至26日24时，一周时间，全省新增本地病例2940例。 为尽快 阻断疾病传播，本周，广东全省开展了为期一周的集中灭蚊行动。 位于中山市的黄圃镇，每晚6时，各家各户相约一起点燃蚊香。 志愿者介绍，这个时间是伊蚊活跃的高峰期，大家一起点蚊香，可以把蚊子从家里赶出去，再配合外围的集中消杀，就能最大限度杀死蚊 子。 南方医科大学公共卫生学院教授、热带医学研究所所长 陈晓光： 伊蚊产卵还有一个特点叫跳跃式产卵。它不把一次怀胎所生的卵都放到一 个滋生地里面，它往往一个滋生地里面产三十只，换个地方再产三五只，就像我们常说的一句话，"不把鸡蛋放到一个篮里面"。没有积水就 没有它的生长环境。 为杜绝后患，伊蚊的卵和幼虫也要一并消灭。家里的马桶、花盆、饮水机托盘、室外的洼地，但凡容易积水的，都要"翻盆倒罐"排查清理。 而这个黑盒子，则是广东省卫健委、省疾控局等多部门，联合南方医科大学研发的"电子哨兵"。科研人员在里面放置了模拟人体气味 ...
