埃及斑蚊，英文名為yellow fever mosquito，學名為Aedes aegypti，是白紋伊蚊的近親。693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08FYmmpUHe

（圖1）男性品種不會叮人，只有女性品種才會叮人，藉著吸血等途徑傳播登革熱(Dengue Fever)等疾病。693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobjtYRWMBU

殺蟲劑雖能殺滅蚊子，但蚊子亦逐漸展示出對殺蟲劑的抗藥性。693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb80diNIau

而基於殺蟲劑會污染環境及危害部份雀鳥昆蟲健康關係，建立另類對付播毒蚊子的方法可謂有著絕對的迫切性。693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAQWUnTY5d

（圖2）有見及此，Oxitec公司(現為美國公司收購)培養出埃及斑蚊OX513A品種。693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexyOx2Yl3M
牠們在幼蟲的時候需要四環黴素（Tetracycline)才能成功生長。在實驗室培植的時候，研究人員會在食物裡提供四環黴素，但當他們被放到野外的時候，便再也沒能取得足夠的四環黴素，沒能順利生長成為蚊子。693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8rKcGNTkW
693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzCAOy7cH5
男性埃及斑蚊OX513A品種與女性正常品種交配的話，將有機會產生正常品種及OX513A品種的蚊卵。693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMZz3249qeV
693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtHE10vh02
在野外缺乏四環黴素的情況下，正常品種有86–88%成功長大為蚊子，而OX513A品種則只有3-4%的成功率。693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiiMQ6rizS0
693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cmrztS58V
以這個方式推算下去的話，蚊子下一代的比率將會大幅度減低。693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdrpc2jRqO

（圖3）Oxitec公司在2010年英國開曼群島藉著此方式消除80%野外埃及斑蚊。693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxcDXlPDvu
而亦在2013年巴西巴伊亞州順利用上同樣方式消除~90%野外埃及斑蚊。693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjGSQQRQf1
693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDWrfTBzMq
今年2020年8月，他們同樣依這種方式在美國佛羅里達發放男性男性埃及斑蚊OX513A品種。693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyCiRWr1ki
693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtIVDOH9nl
此舉泛起不少反對聲音，不乏違反動物權利及人權等等。693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUk0HeLXcpa
693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzmNKXRqxq
亦有人認為此舉會破壞生態平衡，奈何此方法只會滅殺埃及斑蚊，不會影響其他蚊子品種，其他物種可照樣進食其他蚊子品種代替，不見得有任何大影響。693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3c6vCzDcs
693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFtiiGUtzC
至於亦有人認為埃及斑蚊有機會因而大遷徙到第二區域，這點反而有著潛在的可能性，值得探討一下。

睇番一大輪資料後，發覺原來依篇文所寫的方法係佢哋用係巴西的方法，18個月之內係有成效，之後蚊子數量回升。693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzC51qoCQdV
693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWhFRIRUsT
今次美國所用的方法係OX5034，同舊原理差唔多，但女性BB會死，而男性BB唔會。693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMcNRN99jd
693Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEumjbRS3n
無睇到佢哋媒體資料，只係睇咗佢哋之前所發出的學術文章，所以資料有錯，對不起。
