Recently, the project: the Development and Application of Mosquito Larvicide, which is hosted by WIV, has received positive response from local people and successfully got through the examination and inspection conference held in Xinjiang Province.

Xinjiang Province, especially in the downstream areas of Irtysh River, known as one of the four largest mosquito kingdoms in the world, has always been harassed by mosquitos. For instance, there are at least 1700 mosquitos per cubic meter in the downstream areas of Irtysh River in summer. The implementation of the project(the Development and Application of Mosquito Larvicide) discovers the three major mosquito larva breeding sites, identifies the growth and decline rule of mosquito larva and adult, develops the technological biopesticide mosquito-prevention system, effectively reduces the mosquito density, and establishes the mosquito bio-control demonstration zone.

The successful implementation of the project has greatly improved the living environment of the local residents, realized local people's hopes to avoid the mosquito interference, and enhanced local people's confidence in guarding the frontiers, which play an important role in consolidating the frontiers of China.
