Historically, resistance has been believed to be a regional or district-wide issue, but the U.S. Zika outbreak taught us how to consider mosquito populations at a block-by-block level. And from our work understanding and treating container-breeding species, the Susceptibility 评估ment Mapping (SAM™) service was born.
Hga010皇冠软件下载’s SAM service offers our customers neighborhood-by-neighborhood insights into the susceptibility of their local mosquito population against various control products.
它遵循一个简单的六步过程:
Working from any historical surveillance data available, we’ll begin to understand the species mix of your district, 再加上任何影响人口的变异.
Various sites are selected for larvae and/or egg collection that best reflect the species mix of your district.
Eggs and/or larvae are collected and overnighted to our lab or a third-party partner.
F1 and F2 generations of each species collected are reared by the lab.
同时, the lab uses susceptible lab colony species to conduct bottle bioassay studies on the adulticide product(s) of your choice. This is done to determine the diagnostic dose (DD) and diagnostic time (DT) for each species on each product. Then, the F2 species will be tested following the same methodology.
对于每一个产品配方测试, the time to 100% mortality is compared between the susceptible lab species and the field species.
SAM offers a quick and efficient way to understand the relative performance between products used across your district. We recommend it be used as an annual monitoring tool for susceptibility levels within your population.
然而, SAM is not a definitive tool to determine if your local mosquito population has resistance issues. If you identify any yellow flags in the data results, your best course of action is to do a formal field trial. Hga010皇冠软件下载能帮上忙.
Every mosquito control program fears developing resistance within their local mosquito populations. Susceptibility 评估ment Mapping (SAM) is a service and knowledge-based service that delivers a true picture of product performance within your district.
