“…Attitudes toward mosquito control methods have been addressed in a larger number of surveys than the level of knowledge regarding those methods (6,15,22,27,29,45,55,62). Understanding the population's perception of mosquito control and its effectiveness is necessary to assess which practices, e.g., protective behaviors or actions against mosquito proliferation would potentially be well accepted and used by the population.…”

“…Additionally, the majority of the respondents living in areas where mosquito control had been implemented for 10 years would not want to return to a situation without mosquito control interventions. However, even the respondents who were the most favorable to mosquito control had some reservations; nearly 60% of all respondents underlined the potential damage to the ecosystem (6,63). A Greek study analyzed residents' perception of SIT and highlighted high acceptance by most residents (22).…”

“…In total, the population sample of 639 persons were interrogated via standardized questionnaires or semidirective interviews. The results showed that in the delta of the Rhone River in France recurring campaigns of larvicide applications were poorly known by the local population (6). More than 40% of the respondents did not know who was responsible for the mosquito control campaigns in the region, although mosquito control has been controversial for more than 10 years.…”

“…Mosquito control implies the local residents have good knowledge of the mosquito life cycle and be aware of their role in prevention. We found only three studies that examined people's knowledge of mosquito control in nonendemic countries (6,18,55). Claeys et al ( 9) investigated social knowledge and perception of mosquitoes and mosquito control methods in France regarding larvicide spraying in wetland ( 6).…”

“…Among them, chemical insecticides are widely used. However, their adverse impacts on nontarget species and their secondary effects due to resistance in mosquito populations have made chemical insecticides a controversial social issue (6). On the other hand, environmental measures such as draining standing water, proper disposal of empty containers or the use of bed nets on standing water containers are considered sustainable methods to control the spread of Aedes and Anopheles mosquitoes in urban areas (7).…”

Mosquito-borne infectious diseases (MBIDs) present significant public health risks within tropical and subtropical regions. However, the rapid spread of MBIDs from these areas to temperate regions increase the risk of their emergence in nonendemic regions, i.e., regions where diseases are still sporadic and not sustained in the population. Raising awareness about preventive measures and protective behaviors is of primary importance to face the risks of vector-borne diseases. In this context, the number of studies on knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) about mosquitoes and MBIDs has grown rapidly in response to the need to identify knowledge and practices in nonendemic countries to fight mosquito proliferation. Building upon the recent developments in this field, we conducted the first-ever literature review to examine KAP studies conducted in nonendemic regions. Our aim was to identify the community’s knowledge and attitudes that shape practices concerning the prevention of MBIDs. We used specific keywords regarding the scope of this review and then selected studies that were performed in nonendemic regions for MBIDs, including regions located in European countries, the USA or Asia. We identified 32 KAP studies, the oldest from 2003. The findings in the reviewed studies show that survey participants generally possessed a rather good understanding of mosquito breeding sites. However, there were notable variations in knowledge and perception of MBIDs, primarily linked to the geographic location of the survey and the prevalence of infectious outbreaks related to mosquito transmission. These findings highlight the significant influence of knowledge and awareness in fostering effective mosquito control practices. Moreover, socioeconomic status, particularly educational attainment, and respondents’ gender emerged as key determinants in explaining the variability of appropriate practices. The survey results thus show the crucial role of knowledge, emphasizing the need for widespread awareness and information campaigns, encompassing both appropriate practices and efficient mosquito control methods. Understanding the interaction between these factors could provide good guidelines for implementing awareness plans and ultimately motivate the population to actively fight against mosquito proliferation and MBIDs development.

This article provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the notion of overuse in natural areas. Based on the case of the French Calanques massif (located along the Mediterranean coast between Marseilles and Cassis), sociology and biology combine their analyses to examine the social processes behind the increasingly widespread use of natural areas and the ecological consequences thereof. The data are comprised of interdisciplinary research based on eighty semi-structured interviews conducted on-site and 330 telephone survey questionnaires. We critically analyse of the notion of overuse and underscore the socio-economic, cultural and ideological weight it carries in the context of socio-natural change; this calls into question the relevance of the ancient nature/culture dichotomy. Drawing on theoretical tools from environmental sociology, this article also provides some perspectives for natural area managers.
