Planning Meeting for Coordination of Activities of IRD, CRVOI and the FAO/IAEA in relationship to the Feasibil- ity of Mosquito SIT for La Reunion, 22-24 March 2009, Vienna, Austria

摘要

La Reunion has many characteristics that are ideal for elimination of Anopheles arabiensis using the SIT: (1) The breeding areas are relatively small and well-defined by geographic barriers, (2) the numbers of mosquitoes are relatively low, (3) the infrastructure of transportation and communication is excellent, (4) a considerable amount of information regarding the location of breeding sites and seasonal abundance exists, and (5) an existing surveillance and control programme.
