Abstract

This survey was performed to monitor the spread of specific mosquito-borne pathogens at Jeonbuk. The frequency of occurrence of mosquito borne pathogens including Japanese encephalitis virus, West Nile virus, Zika virus, and yellow fever virus was assessed by collecting mosquitoes twice a month from March to December 2021 from various areas in Jeonbuk. A total of 15,975 mosquitoes from 15 species and 7 genera were collected. The highest number of 9,116 mosquitoes (trap index: TI, 506.4) were collected in the Wanju cattle pen, followed by the habitat for migratory birds and the downtown area in Jeonju. In the Gunsan habitat for migratory birds, 3,217 mosquitoes (TI, 178.7) were collected in the reed fields, 356 (TI, 19.7) in the men's toilets, and 1,948 (TI, 108.2) in the women's toilets. In Jeonju, 677 mosquitoes (TI, 37.6) were collected in the Deokjin park, 358 (TI, 19.8) in the Deokjin-gu office, and 303 (TI, 16.8) at the Jeonbuk National University. The largest population of mosquitoes was collected in the men's toilets in Gunsan and the Deokjin Park in downtown Jeonju. The results of the RT-PCR confirmation to determine the pathogen infection of the collected mosquitoes were all negative. These results provide a basis for tackling integrated mosquito-borne diseases in the Jeonbuk region.

이 조사는 전북지역에서 일본뇌염, 말라리아, 웨스트나일병, 지카바이러스, 황열의 매개체 모기에 대해 조사되었다. 2021년 3월부터 12월까지 매월 2회 모기류를 채집하여 감염병 매개체 발생빈도와 병원체를 조사 감시한 결과 전체 채집 개체수는 7속 15종으로 15,975마리가 채집되었다. 환경별로 완주 축사에서 9,116마리(trap index: TI, 506.4)로 가장 많이 채집되었으며 철새도래지, 전주도심의 순서로 채집되었다. 군산 철새도래지에서는 철새보호구역의 갈대숲에서는 3217마리(TI, 178.7), 남자화장실에서 356마리(TI, 19.7), 여자화장실에서 1,948마리(TI, 108.2) 채집되었다. 전주시내에서는 덕진공원에서 677마리(TI, 37.6), 덕진구청에서 358마리(TI, 19.8), 전북대에서 303마리(TI, 16.8)가 채집되었다. 군산 철새도래지에서는 여자화장실, 전주 도심에서는 덕진공원에서 가장 많은 개체수가 채집되었다. 병원체 검사 결과는 모두 음성이었다. 이 연구결과는 전북지역 모기에 의한 질병대책 전북지역 모기매개감염병에 대한 기초자료의 근거를 제공해 준다.
