不论使用杀虫剂室内喷洒或通过清除孳生地防制某种媒介昆虫,常需预测疾病可能下降的程度。这种预测是对昆虫种群传播疾病的能量进行测定。常用的方法是,对与传播有关的所有昆虫学成分进行定量调查,然后计算该疾病最大的每天繁殖率,即媒介能量。虽然媒介能量概念是以疟疾的媒介按蚊为基础发展起来,主要应用于疟疾学,但现已被应用到医学昆虫的其他几个分支,如伊 It is often necessary to predict the extent to which the disease may decline as a result of indoor insecticide spraying or control of a vector insect by clearing breeding grounds. This prediction measures the energy of insect-borne diseases. A common approach is to conduct a quantitative survey of all entomological components related to transmission and then calculate the maximum daily reproductive rate of the disease, ie, the energy of the medium. Although the concept of vector energy, developed on the basis of the malaria vector Anopheles mosquito, is mainly used in malaria, it has now been applied to several other branches of medical insects such as Iraq
