Experiences and lessons of vector management in the 7th CISM Military World Games
Mass gatherings(MGs)may increase the risks of vector-borne diseases.Literatures on experiences and lessons of vector management(VM)at MGs outside China were relatively rare.The Chinese governments were generally willing to invest sufficient funds and manpower in VM in MGs,and the goals of preventing vector-borne diseases and significantly improving their VM were usually achieved.The successful experiences were reported by Chinese scholars,while the defects and lessons were barely mentioned.In October 2019,the 7th Military World Games were held in Wuhan in Central China.A total of 205 main guarantee sites,including 51 competition venues,distributed in all 15 administrative districts of Wuhan.Mosquito management and mosquito-borne disease control were mostly important for VM.The VM in the games had successfully achieved the goal,but with defects.In this review,we focused on a more comprehensive successful experiences and defects of the VM.To improve VM efficiency in MGs,we recommend:①using relevant regulations to promote urban VM;②implementing practical researches to solve technical and management problems encountered;③advocating a truth-seeking and pragmatic work style,and being sure to aim at the vector targets in field management;④ emphasizing quality control of vector monitoring,making and strictly implementing vector monitoring quality control plans.
