“…In this study, the longest range for setting light traps was 500 m, and this range is shorter than similar studies in Korea [48]. Based on our observations in the field, the distance between release point and edge of most of the villages was less than 400 meters in Yongcheng City.…”

“…sinensis of 0.83% and 1.33% in study site I and II, respectively. These recapture rates are affected by the experimental design, the source and species of mosquitoes, the resting and oviposition sites, the availability of host blood meals, the age structure of mosquitoes [47], configuration of dispersal area [48], local geography and topography, mosquito collection methods [49], [50].

“…In their study, 37.1% marked An. sinensis were recaptured in light traps set at 1 km from the release point [48]. In Yongcheng City, the distance between release point and edge of most of the villages was less than 400 m. Farms were the principal habitat beyond 400 m and a few crops grow in the farm during the study period.…”

BackgroundStudying the dispersal range of Anopheles sinensis is of major importance for understanding the transition from malaria control to elimination. However, no data are available regarding the dispersal range of An. sinensis in China. The aim of the present study was to study the dispersal range of An. sinensis and provide the scientific basis for the development of effective control measures for malaria elimination in China.Methodology/Principal FindingsMark-Release-Recapture (MRR) experiments were conducted with 3000 adult wild An. sinensis in 2010 and 3000 newly emerged wild An. sinensis in 2011 in two villages of Yongcheng City in Henan Province. Marked An. sinensis were recaptured daily for ten successive days using light traps. The overall recapture rates were 0.83% (95% CI, 0.50%∼1.16%) in 2010 and 1.33% (95% CI, 0.92%∼1.74%) in 2011. There was no significant difference in the recapture rates of wild An. sinensis and newly emerged An. sinensis. The majority of An. sinensis were captured due east at study site I compared with most in the west at study site II. Eighty percent and 90% of the marked An. sinensis were recaptured within a radius of 100 m from the release point in study site I and II, respectively, with a maximum dispersal range of 400 m within the period of this study.Conclusions/SignificanceOur results indicate that local An. sinensis may have limited dispersal ranges. Therefore, control efforts should target breeding and resting sites in proximity of the villages.
