埃及斑蚊,英文名為yellow fever mosquito,學名為Aedes aegypti,是白紋伊蚊的近親。623Please respect copyright.PENANASt6TWIKrVH

(圖1)男性品種不會叮人,只有女性品種才會叮人,藉著吸血等途徑傳播登革熱(Dengue Fever)等疾病。623Please respect copyright.PENANAI6vMT2H0LT

殺蟲劑雖能殺滅蚊子,但蚊子亦逐漸展示出對殺蟲劑的抗藥性。623Please respect copyright.PENANAc1u43YBmCS
623Please respect copyright.PENANAVaqnL36aE2
而基於殺蟲劑會污染環境及危害部份雀鳥昆蟲健康關係,建立另類對付播毒蚊子的方法可謂有著絕對的迫切性。623Please respect copyright.PENANA0IxoGSZDif

(圖2)有見及此,Oxitec公司(現為美國公司收購)培養出埃及斑蚊OX513A品種。623Please respect copyright.PENANAfuqTmnQ7EW
牠們在幼蟲的時候需要四環黴素(Tetracycline)才能成功生長。在實驗室培植的時候,研究人員會在食物裡提供四環黴素,但當他們被放到野外的時候,便再也沒能取得足夠的四環黴素,沒能順利生長成為蚊子。623Please respect copyright.PENANAScGVIGWAbO
623Please respect copyright.PENANARzwxHCi1Gn
男性埃及斑蚊OX513A品種與女性正常品種交配的話,將有機會產生正常品種及OX513A品種的蚊卵。623Please respect copyright.PENANAP7eDv7Nqzd
623Please respect copyright.PENANALr510G7b5y
在野外缺乏四環黴素的情況下,正常品種有86–88%成功長大為蚊子,而OX513A品種則只有3-4%的成功率。623Please respect copyright.PENANAdCJU5EFViH
623Please respect copyright.PENANAUwtbSAssmZ
以這個方式推算下去的話,蚊子下一代的比率將會大幅度減低。623Please respect copyright.PENANAYEZwB89bra

(圖3)Oxitec公司在2010年英國開曼群島藉著此方式消除80%野外埃及斑蚊。623Please respect copyright.PENANAcLjK1nTMog
而亦在2013年巴西巴伊亞州順利用上同樣方式消除~90%野外埃及斑蚊。623Please respect copyright.PENANAw4WhETxQMh
623Please respect copyright.PENANAJYtMUWelj3
今年2020年8月,他們同樣依這種方式在美國佛羅里達發放男性男性埃及斑蚊OX513A品種。623Please respect copyright.PENANArAnCJVjomF
623Please respect copyright.PENANAzsmxQMHGyp
此舉泛起不少反對聲音,不乏違反動物權利及人權等等。623Please respect copyright.PENANA5IVo4D5Qfd
623Please respect copyright.PENANAjnyPCihcrO
亦有人認為此舉會破壞生態平衡,奈何此方法只會滅殺埃及斑蚊,不會影響其他蚊子品種,其他物種可照樣進食其他蚊子品種代替,不見得有任何大影響。623Please respect copyright.PENANAoPBXKq52xc
623Please respect copyright.PENANAmDlyUVuMpi
至於亦有人認為埃及斑蚊有機會因而大遷徙到第二區域,這點反而有著潛在的可能性,值得探討一下。

睇番一大輪資料後,發覺原來依篇文所寫的方法係佢哋用係巴西的方法,18個月之內係有成效,之後蚊子數量回升。623Please respect copyright.PENANAPdxykklLNO
623Please respect copyright.PENANA4Lu7ParA3u
今次美國所用的方法係OX5034,同舊原理差唔多,但女性BB會死,而男性BB唔會。623Please respect copyright.PENANA39jATyu9Me
623Please respect copyright.PENANAVmWzbY4xvm
無睇到佢哋媒體資料,只係睇咗佢哋之前所發出的學術文章,所以資料有錯,對不起。
