Entomologic surveillance conducted for arboviral infections in mosquito vectors in the past two years (ref Q28)

Countries that conducted entomologic surveillance included Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, China, Cook Islands, Japan, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Vanuatu. Countries that did not included French Polynesia, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Viet Nam. Kiribati did not respond.

Frequency and scope of entomologic surveillance (ref Q28c, 28d, 28e)

Country	Response	Geographic scope	Comments
Australia	Varying, depending on local ecology, climatic conditions and risk profile from, state to state. Also, highly dependent upon local capacity and site accessibility. IHR vector monitoring traps are serviced weekly and more frequently following detection of exotic vectors.	Country wide	with the exception of a minority of Australian jurisdictions/areas deemed to be of low risk. Note that 'entomologic surveillance' is typically conducted under state or local government programmes, not as part of 'country wide programmes' (with exception of FPoE)
Brunei Darussalam	Once a week	Restricted to specific locations (7 sentinel sites)	Airport, ports and ground crossings
Cambodia	when the outbreak occurs	Restricted to specific locations (10 sentinel sites)	Only outbreak sites (spot checks)
China	monthly	Restricted to specific locations (103 sentinel sites)	Selected monitoring points at country wide
Cook Islands	Every three months	Restricted to specific locations (10 sentinel sites)	Rarotonga, Cook Islands
French Polynesia
Japan	Once a year	Restricted to specific locations (122 sentinel sites)	Ministry of Health has program for vector surveillance at quarantine border.
Kiribati
Lao People's Democratic Republic	Other: For 51 sentinel sites where had reported many Dengue cases was conducted once per month. For 7 sentinel sites were conducted twice per year	Restricted to specific locations (58 sentinel sites)	Vientiane Capital (Pilot project)
Malaysia	once a month	Country wide (5 sentinel sites)
Nauru
Papua New Guinea
Philippines		Restricted to specific locations	Yes, in selected provinces in the country. There was an exploratory one done in the cities of Manila and Muntinlupa (National Capital Region) and the city of Palawan (MIMAROPA region).  Country wide program, however, not all regional offices are able to conduct routine entomological surveillance
Singapore	Ad hoc screenings for arboviral infections in mosquito vectors are conducted in selected dengue cluster areas to support and guide vector control operations. For example, dengue NS1 screening of Aedes mosquitoes caught in Gravitraps placed in dengue cluster area are conducted for risk assessment	Country wide	Close to 70,000 Gravitraps are deployed at housing estates around Singapore to monitor the Aedes mosquitoes, and about 8 Night catcher traps are deployed to monitor other mosquito species
Vanuatu	Once a year	Restricted to specific locations (2 sentinel sites)	Capital city of Port Vila
Viet Nam
