Abstract

Understanding Aedes breeding sites is crucial for effective vector control, yet the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analysis in Kuala Lumpur is limited. This study explores the spatial distribution and characteristics of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus breeding sites in dengue-prone areas of Bandar Tasik Selatan. Entomological data from the Kuala Lumpur Health Department (2022-2023) were analyzed using Average Nearest Neighbor (ANN), Global Moran's I, and Kernel Density Estimation (KDE). Logistic regression and principal component analyses (PCA) were used to assess breeding site characteristics. Of 6,027 water containers inspected, 402 (6.7%) were positive for Aedes larvae. ANN and Moran's I analyses revealed significant clustering in Zone A and Zone B, while KDE identified breeding hotspots. Logistic regression indicated higher risk in plastic (aOR = 69.58), rubber (aOR = 35.11), and cement (aOR = 24.70) containers, while rainwater (aOR = 0.24), tap water (aOR = 0.27), and partial shading (aOR = 0.41) reduced risk. PCA revealed key breeding site variations across residential, public, school, and food areas. These findings support targeted vector control, efficient resource allocation, and tailored interventions to mitigate dengue risks in high-priority areas.

马来西亚吉隆坡登革热易发区伊蚊的空间和孳生地点分析。

了解伊蚊的繁殖地对有效控制病媒至关重要，但吉隆坡对地理信息系统（GIS）和空间分析的应用却很有限。本研究探讨了 Bandar Tasik Selatan 登革热高发区埃及伊蚊和白纹伊蚊繁殖地的空间分布和特征。吉隆坡卫生局提供的昆虫学数据（2022-2023 年）采用平均近邻法（ANN）、全局莫兰 I 和核密度估计法（KDE）进行了分析。逻辑回归和主成分分析（PCA）用于评估繁殖地特征。在检查的 6,027 个水箱中，有 402 个（6.7%）对伊蚊幼虫呈阳性反应。ANN 和 Moran's I 分析显示，A 区和 B 区有明显的聚集，而 KDE 则确定了繁殖热点。逻辑回归表明，塑料容器（aOR = 69.58）、橡胶容器（aOR = 35.11）和水泥容器（aOR = 24.70）的风险较高，而雨水容器（aOR = 0.24）、自来水容器（aOR = 0.27）和部分遮光容器（aOR = 0.41）的风险较低。PCA 揭示了住宅区、公共场所、学校和食品区的主要孳生地差异。这些研究结果支持有针对性的病媒控制、有效的资源分配和量身定制的干预措施，以降低高度优先地区的登革热风险。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Environmental Health Research ( IJEHR ) is devoted to the rapid publication of research in environmental health, acting as a link between the diverse research communities and practitioners in environmental health. Published articles encompass original research papers, technical notes and review articles. IJEHR publishes articles on all aspects of the interaction between the environment and human health. This interaction can broadly be divided into three areas: the natural environment and health – health implications and monitoring of air, water and soil pollutants and pollution and health improvements and air, water and soil quality standards; the built environment and health – occupational health and safety, exposure limits, monitoring and control of pollutants in the workplace, and standards of health; and communicable diseases – disease spread, control and prevention, food hygiene and control, and health aspects of rodents and insects. IJEHR is published in association with the International Federation of Environmental Health and includes news from the Federation of international meetings, courses and environmental health issues.
