病媒防治工作目的為預防病媒傳染疾病之傳播，對於該傳染疾病來說相當關鍵。使用殺蟲劑等的化學防治方法始終為大宗。但使用殺蟲劑對有益生物有害且別無選擇。近年來，人們開始注意到具有防蚊特性成份的抗蚊植物或是可捕食蚊子幼蟲的橈足類動物等生物防治法。因相對於殺蟲劑之使用，可生物降解之植物或透過捕食行為之生物防治法對人類或其他生物較為安全。此外我們亦將初次使用音波滅孑儀搭配研究之進行。台灣已流行登革熱多年，其他各種蚊傳的疾病皆帶來許多嚴重問題。然而，相對於使用殺蟲劑之成效不彰，採取伊蚊之天敵的生物防治法或許是一轉機 (Lardeux et al., 2002)。為了減少蚊傳媒介，我們進行野外與實驗室之研究，希望能找出對人類較安全之生物防治法。此研究為台灣與印度合作之跨國計畫。台灣與印度之研究團隊將會一同努力研究透過對環境無害之生物防治法來降低蚊傳媒介。 Vector control plays a key role in prevention and control of major vector-borne diseases and often constitutes the first line of activity in case of epidemics of vector-borne diseases. Chemical control (use of pesticides) is still the most important element in the integrated approach to vector control. But they are non-selective and harmful to other beneficial organisms. The biologically-active plant materials with anti-mosquitocidal properties and mosquito control by copepods etc. are attracted in recent years, because of their biodegradable nature or biological control through predation and being relatively safer to human and other non-target organism in the Environment. Furthermore, the pilot study of Acoustic Larvicide Systems will be conducted in this research at the first time. There has been outbreaks of the dengue fever in Taiwan for many years. All mosquito spreading diseases have been serious problems for Taiwan. However, biological control, using the natural enemies of Aedes, appears to be an alternative approach to the systematic failure of use of insecticides (Lardeux et al., 2002). In order to reduce or solve the mosquito vectors, we are trying to do experiments both in situ and in the laboratory so we can reach the goal of reducing the mosquito vectors through biological agents without affecting human being negatively. This is an international collaboration project between Taiwan and India. We will work together between Taiwanese and Indian research team members and try to minimize the mosquito vectors through biological and ecological friendly agents.
