“…Finally, cost‐effectiveness analyses facilitate comparisons between integrated IMS control strategies and can inform policy decisions . Several studies have underlined the benefits of a real‐time vector monitoring system to orientate the vector control campaign alongside a community‐based approach with routine vertical Aedes control, including source reduction and larvicide and adulticide applications …”

Five species of invasive Aedes mosquitoes have recently become established in Europe: Ae. albopictus, Ae. aegypti, Ae. japonicus japonicus, Ae. koreicus and Ae. atropalpus. These mosquitoes are a serious nuisance for people and are also competent vectors for several exotic pathogens such as dengue and chikungunya viruses. As they are a growing public health concern, methods to control these mosquitoes need to be implemented to reduce their biting and their potential for disease transmission. There is a crucial need to evaluate methods as part of an integrated invasive mosquito species control strategy in different European countries, taking into account local Aedes infestations and European regulations. This review presents the control methods available or in development against invasive Aedes mosquitoes, with a particular focus on those that can be implemented in Europe. These control methods are divided into five categories: environmental (source reduction), mechanical (trapping), biological (e.g. copepods, Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis, Wolbachia), chemical (insect growth regulators, pyrethroids) and genetic (sterile insect technique and genetically modified mosquitoes). We discuss the effectiveness, ecological impact, sustainability and stage of development of each control method.

“…The MosquiTRAP has been used for monitoring Ae. aegypti abundance in entire cities through global positioning system Þxed-position trapping and Webbased (MI-Dengue) data management (Eiras and Resende 2009), a cost-effective program for indicating areas of high abundance for vector control (Pepin et al 2013).…”

Monitoring dengue vector control by sampling adult Aedes aegypti (L.) recently has been used to replace both larval and pupal surveys. We have developed and evaluated the Gravid Aedes Trap (GAT) through a sequential behavioral study. The GAT does not require electricity to function, and trapped mosquitoes are identified easily during trap inspections. The GAT concept relies on visual and olfactory cues to lure gravid Ae. aegypti and an insecticide to kill trapped mosquitoes. Gravid mosquitoes are lured to a black bucket base containing oviposition attractant (infusion) and are trapped in a translucent chamber impregnated with a pyrethroid insecticide where they are killed within 3-15 min. In semifield observations, the GAT captured a significantly higher proportion of gravid mosquitoes than the double sticky ovitrap. We also demonstrated that the visual cues of the prototype GAT-LgBF (large black base bucket with a black funnel at the top of the translucent chamber) captured a significantly higher proportion of gravid mosquitoes than the other prototypes. The visual contrast created by the addition of a white lid to the top of the black funnel significantly increased the number of captured gravid mosquitoes when compared with the GAT-LgBF in semifield trials. We conclude that the GAT is more efficient in recapturing gravid Ae. aegypti when compared with sticky ovitraps. The GAT is an effective, practical, low cost, and easily transportable trap, features that are essential in large-scale monitoring programs, particularly in areas where funding is limited.

“…Meltzer et al [9] used expansion factors ranging from 6 to 14 for 0-to 15-year-olds and ranging from 20 to 30 for [15-year-olds in Puerto Rico, while Carrasco et al [13] used increasing expansion factors ranging from 3.8 (for 15-to 24-year-olds) to 50 (for [55-year-olds) in Singapore. Pepin et al [42] acknowledged that underreporting was an issue in municipalities in Minas Gerais, Brazil, but the authors did not adjust for underreporting, because of lack of available estimates at the municipality level. Other authors felt that underreporting was not problematic, and they did not use an expansion factor [24].…”

“…Nine studies considered a period of analysis of 2-5 years [17,18,22,23,27,29,32,41,42,45], and several papers considered a period of analysis of more than 5 years [8-14, 21, 43, 46, 47], either relying on retrospectively analysed data or projecting the cost effectiveness into the future. This variation reflects how much dengue transmission dynamics considerations (e.g.…”
