Exploiting mosquito behaviour to eliminate mosquitoes safely
Dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever and Zika virus are rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral diseases. They are difficult to diagnose and treat, and mosquito control is the only option to stop transmission. These mosquitoborne diseases are the most significant public health risks globally, with dengue fever one of the most important arboviral diseases in humans. The VECTOTHOR IN2CARE MOSQUITO STATION provides the scientific way to combat Aedes mosquitoes that transmit dengue, chikungunya, yellow fever and Zika virus.
- Kills all mosquito larvae in the Station
- Kills all mosquito larvae in surrounding breeding sites
- Kills exposed adult mosquitoes
- Stops virus development!
Aedes mosquitoes are attracted to small container-like breeding sites and have a unique egg-laying behaviour. They lay their eggs over several breeding sites, to spread them around and increase the success of their offspring surviving. The VECTOTHOR IN2CARE MOSQUITO STATION exploits this natural behaviour by using the female mosquito to spread a low toxic killing agent applied in the Station, to multiple breeding sites in the area. This concept is referred to as ‘autodissemination’ and it enables us to kill virtually all the mosquito larvae in the area around the Station, before they become biting adults capable of spreading disease.
Performance
Only female mosquitoes bite people. This is to secure a blood feed, which is required for egglaying, after which they can transmit the deadly viruses (male mosquitoes do not bite). Aedes mosquitoes are difficult to control as they lay their eggs in water in very small and hard-to find cryptic breeding sites (e.g. spathes of plants and artificial containers such as pots, earthen jars, drums, concrete tanks, coconut shells, vases, old tyres, rubbish and more).
The VECTOTHOR IN2CARE MOSQUITO STATION attracts and kills the blood-sucking Aedes females using two bioactive agents, to target both the mosquito larvae and adults. It is a multi-impact, auto-dissemination Station that provides effective kill of mosquito larvae in breeding sites in a wide area surrounding the Station. The Station will also target other ‘pot’ breeding species such as Culex pipiens Linnaeus (common house mosquito).
Insecticide resistance has become a major problem. Large scale insecticide fogging programs show limited efficacy and major impacts on non-target organisms. This necessitates a switch to more sustainable, environmentally friendly vector control. The VECTOTHOR IN2CARE MOSQUITO STATION uses a natural, US-EPA approved, fungus to kill adult mosquitoes; and the Insect Growth Regulator is a WHO recommended ingredient that can even be used in drinking water. Both bioactives have short half-lives in the environment and are classified as low risk for non-target organisms.
