Seasonal Characteristics and Trends of Mosquito Vectors in Shandong Province (2018-2024)

Mosquito surveillance data from Shandong Province, China, covering a 7-year period from 2018 to 2024. The dataset, created by Qintong Sun, analyzes population dynamics, seasonal patterns, and long-term trends of vector species to inform targeted disease control strategies.

Use Cases

• Analyze seasonal concentration degree (M=0.737) and peak activity period (June 13 to September 15) for mosquito density.
• Compare long-term trend divergence in mosquito density between cities like Jinan (decreasing) and Weihai (increasing).
• Identify regional variations in peak activity timing, such as the earliest peak day in Linyi City versus the latest in Weihai.
• Characterize species composition, with Culex pipiens pallens identified as the predominant mosquito species.

Strengths

• 7-year temporal coverage from 2018 to 2024 provides a basis for trend analysis.
• Includes quantified seasonal metrics like concentration degree (M=0.737) and peak day (July 30).
• Data supports city-level comparisons across Shandong Province.

Limitations

• Small file size (9.8 KB) suggests limited raw data or a highly summarized dataset.
• Specific row count, column names, and granular sample data are unavailable.
• Analysis is geographically limited to one Chinese province.
