[Surveillance of populations in different periods in Suizhou City].

Objective: To evaluate the effect of malaria vector control measures so as to provide the evidence for consolidating the control effectiveness of malaria and carrying out the vector surveillance in Suizhou City.

Methods: The distributions of and were investigated by the combination of retrospective review and field survey. The changes of density and population of mosquito vectors were investigated and compared among various years.

Results: From 1985 to 1996, both and were found in 18 towns, and . mosquitoes accounted for 52.3% of the total mosquitoes. Only mosquitoes were found in other 26 towns.
