Abstract

Background: Mangroves are an ecosystem interface between land and sea, forming distinctive shallow-water marine communities in tropical and subtropical waters. The mangrove forest surface in Cambodia is being reduced due to deforestation. Because the mangrove type of ecosystem generally hosts a great diversity of mosquitoes, the urbanization of these ecosystems will increase interactions between humans and wild mosquitoes, and might thus serve as a potential source of new infectious diseases. Understanding mosquito diversity and analyzing their virome is critical to estimate the risk of emergence or future outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases.

Objective: To understand the mosquito diversity of mangrove forests of Koh Kong province (Cambodia).

Methods: In 2019, the mosquito fauna was sampled for 3 consecutive days using BG-Sentinel and light traps, in 3 locations in the mangrove forests of Koh Kong province (Cambodia) during both dry and rainy seasons.

Results: A total of 3107 samples were collected, belonging to 10 genera for 34 species. The Culex genus was the most diverse, accounting for 10 species. One species, Culex sitiens, represented over 60% of all collected mosquitoes. A total of 12 medically important species were recorded, 2 species, Aedes (Stegomyia) albopictus and Culex vishnui, were collected in all sites and during both the dry and rainy seasons, highlighting a potential risk of these species acting as bridge vectors.

Conclusions: If new arboviruses were to be recorded in this peculiar area, it would indicate that the mosquito species found have the potential to act as a bridge between sylvatic and anthropogenic arboviruses.

柬埔寨公岛红树林蚊(双翅目:库蚊科)多样性及其医学意义。
背景:红树林是陆地和海洋之间的生态系统界面,在热带和亚热带水域形成独特的浅水海洋群落。由于森林砍伐,柬埔寨的红树林面积正在减少。由于红树林类型的生态系统通常承载着多种多样的蚊子,这些生态系统的城市化将增加人类与野生蚊子之间的相互作用,因此可能成为新传染病的潜在来源。了解蚊子的多样性并分析它们的病毒对于估计蚊媒疾病出现或未来爆发的风险至关重要。目的:了解柬埔寨戈公省红树林蚊虫多样性。方法:2019年,在柬埔寨戈公省红树林3个地点,采用BG-Sentinel和灯诱法,在旱季和雨季连续3 d取样蚊虫区系。结果:共采集标本3107份,隶属于10属34种。库蚊属的种类最多,有10种。其中一种蚊库蚊占所收集蚊子总数的60%以上。共有12种医学上重要的物种被记录下来,其中白纹伊蚊(隐蚊)和vishnui库蚊2种在所有站点以及在旱季和雨季都被收集到,突出了这些物种作为桥梁媒介的潜在风险。结论:如果在这一特殊地区记录到新的虫媒病毒,这将表明所发现的蚊子有可能成为森林虫媒病毒和人为虫媒病毒之间的桥梁。

期刊介绍: Asian Biomedicine: Research, Reviews and News (ISSN 1905-7415 print; 1875-855X online) is published in one volume (of 6 bimonthly issues) a year since 2007. [...]Asian Biomedicine is an international, general medical and biomedical journal that aims to publish original peer-reviewed contributions dealing with various topics in the biomedical and health sciences from basic experimental to clinical aspects. The work and authorship must be strongly affiliated with a country in Asia, or with specific importance and relevance to the Asian region. The Journal will publish reviews, original experimental studies, observational studies, technical and clinical (case) reports, practice guidelines, historical perspectives of Asian biomedicine, clinicopathological conferences, and commentaries Asian biomedicine is intended for a broad and international audience, primarily those in the health professions including researchers, physician practitioners, basic medical scientists, dentists, educators, administrators, those in the assistive professions, such as nurses, and the many types of allied health professionals in research and health care delivery systems including those in training.
