Abstract

Background objectives: In urban areas, upsurge in population has resulted in more breeding sites for malaria vectors, and hence this scenario potentially undermine malaria elimination and control programs. The change in land use due to urbanization may result in the presence and distribution of malaria vectors. Understanding potential malaria vectors is essential for current and future malaria transmission control strategies. This study investigated the effects of rapid urbanization on malaria vectors An. culicifacies s.l. and An. stephensi L. in Ghaziabad district.

Methods: Ghaziabad district which presents several levels of urbanization was selected for this study. Entomological investigations were conducted seasonally from 2014-2016 in the rural, urban, and peri-urban regions. Vector incrimination study was done using ELISA (confirmation by PCR) on suspected Anopheles vectors viz. An. culicifacies, An. stephensi, An. annularis and An. subpictus.

Results: An. culicifacies showed alteration in distribution influenced by rural and agricultural land whereas An. stephensi was found to be influenced by artificial habitats and population growth.

Interpretation conclusion: The study also confirms the association between the abundance of malaria vectors and land use change.

城市化对印度北方邦 Ghaziabad 地区 Anophelines 种群数量和分布的影响。

背景目标：在城市地区，人口激增导致疟疾病媒有了更多的滋生地，因此这种情况可能会破坏疟疾消除和控制计划。城市化带来的土地利用变化可能会导致疟疾病媒的存在和分布。了解潜在的疟疾病媒对于当前和未来的疟疾传播控制策略至关重要。本研究调查了快速城市化对加济阿巴德地区疟疾病媒 An. culicifacies s.l. 和 An. stephensi L. 的影响：本研究选择了城市化程度较高的加济阿巴德地区。从 2014 年至 2016 年，在农村、城市和城郊地区按季节进行了昆虫学调查。使用 ELISA（通过 PCR 确认）对疑似按蚊病媒（即 culicifacies、hensi、annularis 和 subpictus）进行了病媒鉴别研究：结果表明：疟原虫的分布受农村和农业用地的影响而发生变化，而疟原虫则受人工栖息地和人口增长的影响：这项研究还证实了疟疾病媒的数量与土地利用变化之间的联系。
