title: Governmental supervision and rapid detection on dengue vectors: An important role for dengue control in China.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  China experienced an unprecedented outbreak of dengue fever in 2014, the National Health and Family Planning Commission of the People's Republic of China (NHFPC) carried out a series of supervision work on integrated vector management (IVM), and Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC) conducted a rapid detection on vector density in some areas with high dengue incidence. The goal of this study was to explain the effect of these actions, which play an important role for dengue control, and we wish to give a good example for dengue control in China, even in the world.
  
  
  METHODS
  Compare mosquito vector density with Breteau Index (BI) and dengue incidence after or along with control work vs. before. Data was entered and analyzed by Microsoft Excel 2007 and SPSS19.0.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Average value of BI from 22.82 in September dropped to 3.93 along with supervision and rapid detection. BI showed a significant decrease (paired sample t-test, t=3.061, P=0.018≺0.05). Dengue incidence decreased gradually along with supervision and rapid detection.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Supervised work on IVM by NHFPC and the rapid detection on dengue vector Aedes by China CDC promoted to cut down the dengue vector density, then reduced dengue incidence; both played an important role for dengue control throughout China in 2014.
