Biological Mosquiro Control in Wetlands 1
Biological Mosquito Management in Wetlands:
a selective method for health care, tourism
development and acceptance of
conservation

Biological Mosquiro Control in Wetlands 2
Regular pluges in settlements near to
wetlands
THE PROBLEM - MOSQUITOES
14. Living Lakes Conference Nanchang, China
Biological Mosquiro Control in Wetlands 3
The Torturer
Mosquitoes: without blood - no offspring!
Eggs
14. Living Lakes Conference Nanchang, China
Biological Mosquiro Control in Wetlands 4
The male succle only
on plants – no organs
to bite!
Only female bite
- Need blood for eggs
to develop!

A little bit of Biology: different types of mosquitoes
Flood Mosquitoes Fever Mosquitoes House Mosquitoes
Mass reproduction in flood areas of rivers, lakes, and marshes
Eggs in humid soil – survive for 8 years
Reproduction in shallow permanent waters
Eggs singularily on watersurface
Reproduction in small permanent waterbodies like barrels, tires, bins, rainwater drainages etc inside settlements
Egg packages
Migrate more than 10 km, mass pluges in nature and settlements
migrate 1 km Migrate little, but born in settlements
Bite extremely agressivly mainly at dusk and dawn – Make your life impossible outdoors,
recently desease transmitters of viruses
Bite very painfully, mainly during the night
Malaria transmitters –about 1 mil death/year
Bite mainly during the night and enter houses
Transmit viruses
Control measures after every flood - only
Regularily all 2 weeks near settlements
Reproduce permanently –need control all 10 – 14 days

Mass reproduction of flood mosquitoes
up to 200.000 larvae per square meter =
2.000.000.000 per hectar – 2 Bil. Mosquitoes !

Mosquitoes in a changing World
Globalization brings new species and threats
• trade of goods – transport of species,
• mobility carries „ illegal immigrants „
Climate change brings health risk like Malaria
and various virus infections (Dengue 37 death
in Greece, West Nile, Chikungunya, etc:
• because pathogens and vectors expand due
to favorable climatic conditions
• imported pathogens/parasites can survive

The concept of biological mosquito control in many
European countries
Exclusively regulation of larvae inside the
breeding sites with (micro-) biological
environmentally friendly method using a
protein-cristal, produced by a bacterium:
“Bacillus thuringiensis israleliensis BTI”
14. Living Lakes Conference Nanchang, China
Biological Mosquiro Control in Wetlands 17
The goal: Reduction of mosquitoes
inside the settlenments by 90 %
14. Living Lakes Conference Nanchang, China
Biological Mosquiro Control in Wetlands 18
BTI is :
• Extremly selective to mosquitoes – only,
• Is not poisonous or acidic (WHO drinking
water reservoirs),
• No living bacillus used – only protein
cristals,
• Disappears in nature within 30 hours without
any residues or dangerous derivates,
• Water solutable and washable,
• No resitences after 33 years of usage

Biological Mosquiro Control in Wetlands 19
Fish up to 700 Larvae/day
Amphibian larvae up to 500 Larvae/day
Water beatles> 30 Larvae/day
Water bugs> 30 Larvae/day
Water flees 1-2 Larvae/day
BTI allows the natural system to do a good part of the work!!

The three pillars of Action
1 2 3
Ground –
„troops“
with back
spreyers
Regulation
with
Helicopter
House
mosquitoes
per
community
14. Living Lakes Conference Nanchang, China
Biological Mosquiro Control in Wetlands 21
1. Pilar: ground troops organized by each community
• Volunteers, students and community service employees with back-pack spreyers in case of floods,
• Regular monitoring of potential breeding sites,
• 1 responsible per community as organizer and raporteur
• All are trained every year

2. Pilar: Control with helicopter
Only when large breedings sites are to be treated.
14. Living Lakes Conference Nanchang, China
Biological Mosquiro Control in Wetlands 24
Equipment for Helicopter:
• Application mecanism
• Heli GPS-System,
• Software for GPS and office,
14. Living Lakes Conference Nanchang, China
Biological Mosquiro Control in Wetlands 25
Each community self -organized:
• mapping / registering of breeding sites,
• regular control measures,
• involving house and ground owners,
• distribution of BTI-tablets for garden use,
• public awareness and media work
