Parassitologia 50: 105-107, 2008 Decennial experience of the Municipality of Rome in the fight against Asian Tiger Mosquito B. Cignini, R. Di Domenicantonio, M Chionne and A. Scirocchi Municipality of Rome Department X, Environmental and Agricultural Policies Abstract. Since September 1997 was detected the presence of the Asian Tiger Mosquito (Aedes albopictus) in the peripheral areas of the city of Rome, the Environment Department has put in a strategy to combat and control the spread of this insect throughout the city, collaboration with the Istituto Superiore di Sanità (ISS) to aspects of study and monitoring of the phenomenon and with the Azienda Municipale Ambiente (AMA) for actions in the urban environment. In 1998 began the first contrast campaign in the town territory. The data coming from ISS are processed through a geographical territorial system (GIS) that allows realtime locating the degree of infestation and effectiveness of interventions, allowing the display of trends over time and the development of plans of action in urban territory. In parallel to this methodology operational, the Municipality of Rome has put in an information campaign designed to involve citizens in the fight against this insect. Today the situation in the city is under control, in case of emergency due to the spread of the virus Chikungunya is possible identify in advance the areas at greatest risk of infestation. Using this methodology work has enabled to contain operating costs and minimize the environmental impact by limiting interventions only to areas found positive. Keywords: Rome, Italy, Municipality, Dept of Environment, Vector control Control methodologies The control of this insect is immediately appeared extremely complex because of the particular adaptability of this mosquito, which has found in small focus a development environment virgin and totally devoid of competitors. In relatively large focus, such as manholes and machicolations road, where it is found in association with a likely competitor as the mosquito Culex pipiens this was underdog in the competition. A territory as the city of Rome, rich in agricultural areas devices, ancient villas, terraces and gardens subject to continuous irrigation, has encouraged the survival of adult, therefore it was not possible to prevent the establishment of this insect, that now can be considered part of the local fauna. In the urban area of the city of Rome, as recent studies have shown, this species is able to maintain its trophic activity in the winter as evidenced by the continued laying of eggs. Since 1999 the Municipality of Rome to control the infestation now present throughout the urban territory has prepared a plan of action based on the study and monitoring of a urban level, on the focusing of the interventions in the territory in high-density areas of infestation and on public awareness in contrast to the spread of this insect. The Municipality of Rome in collaboration with ISS check the weekly 650 ovitrappole placed in the territory of the city; these containers are dark with water on Correspondence: Dr. Rita Didomenicantonio, Dipartimento di Politiche ambientali e risorse agricole, IV U.O. Tutela e gestione aree verdi e biodiversità Comune di Roma e-mail: r.didomenicantonio@comune.roma.it the bottom with a rod placed inside masonite upright, which are replaced weekly and sent to ISS for the counting of the eggs (Fig. 1). The monitoring carried out so allows for a framework up to date on the presence, distribution and density in the 19 City Districts. Since 2003 over monitoring of the summer (April to December) has been extended to the winter (January to March), the control of this additional period of the year is found that the Asian Tiger Mosquito has a trophic activity also in the winter period. Having reached the goal of localizing the phenomenon of the Asian Tiger Mosquito in the city territory since 2000 have “georiferito” the ovitrappole located in Zone and operating Sectors using a geographical territorial system (GIS). Monitoring data coming from the Fig. 1. Periferal Districts of Rome where foci of Aedes albopictus were firsr recorded in 1997.
