埃及斑蚊，英文名為yellow fever mosquito，學名為Aedes aegypti，是白紋伊蚊的近親。733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAKW0Y6hKO

（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。733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzR2r5P17F

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。733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLFeY62szL
733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IsemHhxwr
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。733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklsK0H7YC6

（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。733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsFCjiSbFs
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。733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqctRwcBTi
733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZD5v28iO8
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。733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMERDEhUNI
733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYpXuBWWBS
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。733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySY3yjA4h6
733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0PVyM3W1u
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。733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQYIZ68ZqF

（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。733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNCcPJYtoo
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。733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlUR2poe3J
733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdLcJRCy6B
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。733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XRtp97VdU
733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrbOlNmBT1
此舉泛起不少反對聲音，不乏違反動物權利及人權等等。733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5jrCo8Nel
733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdditvHbgRO
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。733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC9Gzx8MaH
733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvC3WPe0xa
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。733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlGv3C9fh4
733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEltjPkkj30
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。733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7kjr0f89M
733Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLsQbuE8Li
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。
