Abstract：Objective To analyze the density and seasonal fluctuation of cockroaches in Aksu,so as to provide scientific and effective basis for cockroach control in Aksu area.Methods From 2020 to 2024,the adhesive capture method was used to monitor 6 types of environments such as residential areas,hotels,catering enviroments,supermarkets,hospitals and farmers' markets in Aksu.Excel 2021 and SPSS 26.0 softwares were used for data collation and statistical analysis.The Chi-square test was used to compare the differences between group rates or proportions.Results A total of 1 264 cockroaches were captured,with an average annual density of 0.45 animals/sheet.The average annual infestation rate was 14.41％.The density and infestation rate of cockroaches showed a decreasing trend in the past 5 years.The dominant species was Blattella germanica,accounting for 97.86％of the total catches.There was significant difference in cockroach density between 2020 and 2024(x2=700.314,P＜0.001).The cockroach infestation rate in different years was significantly different(x2=175.834,P＜0.001).There was significant difference in cockroach density in different environments(x2=700.314,P＜0.001).There was significant difference in cockroach infestation rate among different environments in 5 years(x2=175.834,P＜0.001).There were cockroach activities in Aksu throughout the year from 2020 to 2024.The density of catering environment was the highest compared with other environments in the same period of the year.The activities of cockroaches in hotels,hospitals and residential areas were relatively stable throughout the year.The overall density level was not high and there were no obvious fluctuations.Conclusion The dominant cockroach species in Aksu was Blattella germanica.From 2020 to 2024,the density and infestation rate of cockroaches showed a decreasing trend.The higher cockroach density was found in catering enviroments,farmers' markets and residential areas.The monitoring and control of cockroach in catering environments,farmers' markets and residential areas should be strengthened.
