Insecticide treatments in aircraft (termed ‘aircraft disinsection’) aim to support the containment of potentially disease-carrying vector insects. The introduction of non-endemic mosquito species is of concern as some mosquitoes can act as vectors of many serious human diseases. Expansion of vectors to previously non-endemic regions, extended flight networks and mosquito resistance to insecticides pose challenges to contemporary vector-control approaches. Despite established efficacy of aircraft disinsection in trials, there is increasing concern over its effectiveness and feasibility in flight operations, and its usefulness as a public health measure.

飞机灭虫：作为公共卫生措施的用处是什么？

飞机上的杀虫剂治疗（称为“飞机灭虫”）旨在支持遏制可能携带疾病的媒介昆虫。由于某些蚊子可以作为许多严重人类疾病的媒介，因此引入非地方性蚊子引起了人们的关注。媒介扩展到以前的非流行地区，扩大的飞行网络和蚊子对杀虫剂的抵抗力给当代媒介控制方法带来了挑战。尽管在试验中已经证实了飞机杀虫技术的有效性，但人们对其飞行操作的有效性和可行性以及其作为公共卫生措施的实用性越来越关注。
