Current situation and countermeasures of vector control capacities of municipal and county-level centers for disease prevention and control in Shandong Province
Objective To investigate the current situation of vector control capacities of municipal and county-level centers for disease control and prevention(CDCs)in Shandong Province,China,so as to provide a basis for actively responding to the new situation of the prevention and control of vector-borne infectious diseases and improving vector control capacities of Shandong Province.Methods Through on-site interviews and questionnaire surveys,the information was collected on the vector control professionals and laboratory equipment of CDCs at the municipal and county levels in Shandong Province.Data were analyzed using WPS 2010 and SPSS 19.0 softwares.The t test or Wilcoxon's rank-sum test was used for comparison of continuous data between groups,and the χ2 test was used for comparison of count data between groups.Results In Shandong Province,the average numbers of full-time personnel engaging in vector surveillance and control at municipal and county-level CDCs were 4.10 and 1.94,respectively.Among the professionals,junior and intermediate titles were more common,accounting for 34.43%and 36.79%,respectively;46.70%(99/212)majored in preventive medicine(public health);and the majority had 1-5 years of work experience,accounting for 58.49%.The work mainly focused on carrying out ecological surveillance of disease vectors,and the vast vector laboratories were only able to carry out classification and identification disease vectors;The county-level CDCs undertook 59.38%of the training,and the average annual number of academic papers and scientific research achievements was 5.2 and 0.8,respectively.Conclusions In order to cope with the new challenges facing vector biological control,it is necessary to increase financial investment,strengthen talent and technical reserves,and strengthen scientific research and training.Professional and technical personnel should be based on the existing surveillance projects to strengthen data analysis and utilization,take more action in publicizing the knowledge of vector biological control,and continuously improve the level of social services.
