Abstract

What is already known about this topic?: Aedes mosquitoes commonly breed in domestic water-holding containers; however, rooftop environments are difficult to access and are often absent from routine surveillance, especially in densely populated urban settings.

What is added by this report?: This study demonstrated that unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can rapidly and reliably identify rooftop water-holding containers, reduce on-site inspection workload by 67.7%, and provide early indications of seasonal changes in Aedes larval activity. UAV-detected containers were closely aligned with ground-verified entomological indices.

What are the implications for public health practice?: Integrating UAV-assisted surveillance into routine vector control programs could strengthen early detection of Aedes breeding sites, improve operational efficiency, and support targeted dengue prevention efforts in urban communities.

登革热季节前屋顶伊蚊孳生地无人机监测——广东省东莞市2024-2025年

关于这个话题我们已经知道了什么？：伊蚊通常在家庭储水容器中繁殖；然而，屋顶环境很难进入，并且通常不在常规监测中，特别是在人口稠密的城市环境中。这份报告增加了什么内容？本研究表明，无人机能够快速、可靠地识别屋顶储水容器，减少67.7%的现场检查工作量，并提供伊蚊幼虫活动季节性变化的早期指示。无人机探测到的容器与地面验证的昆虫学指数密切相关。这对公共卫生实践有什么影响？将无人机辅助监测纳入常规病媒控制规划，可加强伊蚊孳生地点的早期发现，提高操作效率，并支持城市社区有针对性的登革热预防工作。
