Article Synopsis
- In 2014, Guangzhou City experienced a major dengue fever outbreak, prompting a study in May 2015 to investigate mosquito habitats using Android mobile devices.
- Out of 342 potential mosquito habitats identified, 166 (49%) contained mosquito larvae, with small containers being the most common habitat type.
- The findings showed that using mobile devices for surveillance is effective and that reducing mosquito breeding sites could help prevent future dengue outbreaks.
Hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) has been a significant public problem since the first cases were reported in 1961 in Wuhan city (capital of Hubei province of China). Epidemiological surveys were carried out to better understand the dynamics of hantavirus infection in humans and animals in Wuhan. During 1961-2011, a total of 21,820 HFRS cases were registered in Wuhan.

Objective: To analyze the molecular characteristics of the newly isolated two Japanese encephalitis virus strains (JEV) in Wuhan.
Methods: The mosquitoes were collected in Wuhan from April to October in 2009. The envelope (E) protein gene of JEV was detected using RT-PCR and sequenced.
