Shandong Province Mosquito Density Trends from 2018 to 2024

Mosquito surveillance data from Shandong Province, China, covering a 7-year period from 2018 to 2024. Qintong Sun analyzed seasonal characteristics and long-term trends of vector mosquito populations, including species composition and density patterns. The analysis identified the dominant species and quantified seasonal aggregation and peak activity periods.

Use Cases

• Analyze seasonal concentration degree (M=0.737) and peak timing (July 30) of mosquito density across Shandong Province.
• Compare long-term mosquito density trends between cities, such as decreases in Jinan and increases in Weihai.
• Identify the predominant mosquito species (Culex pipiens pallens) and its regional distribution within the province.
• Correlate peak activity periods (June 13 to September 15) with environmental or climatic data for predictive modeling.

Strengths

• Data spans a 7-year time range from 2018 to 2024, enabling trend analysis.
• Analysis includes specific statistical metrics like concentration degree (M=0.737) and peak timing.
• Findings show significant regional variation in trends across multiple cities.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 15.9 KB, indicating limited raw data or aggregated results only.
• Specific column names, row counts, and raw observation data are not provided.
• Geographic coverage is limited to one Chinese province, Shandong.
