In recent years, under the influence of climate change, there has been a global trend of expansion in mosquito-borne infectious diseases. This project monitors the current status of vector mosquito control both internationally and domestically, supporting the Ministry of Environment, Environmental Management Administration in overseeing and consolidating the various vector mosquito control measures and management outcomes implemented by local governments. In this project, quarterly assessments were completed, including the execution of subsidized plans and the calculation of performance evaluation scores. The project also included quarterly inventories of human resources, equipment, and pesticide usage for Dengue Fever prevention. These efforts aim to enhance nationwide Dengue Fever prevention efficiency.
Additionally, the project developed and proposed procedures for vector mosquito surveillance operations. As a pilot area, Gukeng Township was selected, with 424 Gravitrap sites planned. Through strengthened monitoring methods, this serves as a reference for local governments in conducting Dengue Fever density surveillance and evaluating the effectiveness of vector breeding source elimination measures. Furthermore, the project organized Dengue Fever surveillance training and promotional meetings to enhance the knowledge of Dengue Fever prevention among every local Environmental Protection Bureaus.
Moreover, natural disasters, such as typhoons, can lead to mosquito-borne infectious diseases. To address this issue, the project collaborated with the competent authorities to conduct Post-Disaster Recovery Exercises. In partnership with the Environmental Protection Bureau of Hsinchu City, the first nationwide Post-Disaster Environmental Recovery Tabletop and Field Exercises were conducted. These included disaster scenario planning, scriptwriting, inter-regional vehicle and equipment deployment, and on-site implementation. A total of 18 vehicles and pieces of equipment were mobilized, involving 253 personnel. The exercise was documented and edited into a film for future reference by local governments, enhancing cross-regional coordination and resource allocation capabilities for post-disaster environmental recovery. This also enables swift elimination of mosquito breeding sources after disasters, thereby assisting environmental management efforts.
