Intervention study demonstrates reduced Aedes larvae in water containers using Colisa labiosus in Myanmar's Hinthada District, suggesting ecological solutions for public health.
Dengue hemorrhagic fever and Dengue fever are harmful to human mostly children and they are a public health problem in Myanmar. An intervention study was conducted in Ywa-Thit village Hinthada Township as test village and Tha-Phan-Pin Ward Ingapu Township as nonintervention village. Six months study was conduct from May to October 2023 in Hinthada District Ayeyarwady Region. Fifty households each were randomly selected for Ae. aegypti larvae detection in water storage containers and Larval and Pupal Indices, Kye-containers and Key-premises were measured in both areas before and after interventions. Before intervention larva consuming rate of larvivorus fishes were tested against laboratory reared 3rd and 4th instar Aedes larvae in different water volumes.
