世博会召开前病媒生物控制策略探讨

Discussions on the strategies of disease vector control prior to the Expo

病媒生物作为重要的传播媒介可以传播多种疾病。上海世博会期间正值病媒生物繁殖高峰期,降低其密度,减少病媒生物性疾病的威胁,成为世博会公共卫生保障的重要环节。通过召开世博会病媒生物控制专家咨询会,接受和采纳了专家建议。并在此基础上,进一步加强对全市各行业病媒生物的检查力度,制定适宜于世博会的各类控制技术文件,同时还加强了对上海市病媒生物控制专业技术人员的应急培训和演练,为世博会公共卫生保障尤其是病媒生物控制打下了坚实基础。

Disease vectors are basically organisms that transmit pathogens of various diseases. Shanghai World Expo is to be held during the peak period of disease vectors. Therefore,to reduce densities of disease vectors and lessen the threat of vector-borne diseases has become an important part of public health protection during the Expo. An expert consultation was convened to elaborate issues on the control of disease vectors throughout the Expo,and expert advice was adopted by relevant departments. In view of this,inspection of disease vectors in various industries of the city is further strengthened; technical documents of control measures applicable for the Expo are developed,and emergency response training and drills are improved for the professional and technical personnel of vector control. As a result,a solid foundation has been laid for public health protection,particularly the control of vectors,during the Expo.
