Cutting-edge Mosquito Repellent Tech｜XUYU Optoelectronics' High-Efficiency LED Vector Control Aids Combating Chikungunya Outbreaks!

The mosquito-borne disease Chikungunya has recently drawn widespread attention. According to the latest data from the World Health Organization (WHO), the 2025 Chikungunya outbreak continues to spread across Southeast Asia, Latin America, and other regions, with global cumulative reported cases exceeding 170,000. Vector mosquitoes (Aedes albopictus / Aedes aegypti) exhibit drastically increased breeding efficiency in environments with temperatures of 28-32°C and 70% humidity.

Simultaneously, traditional chemical mosquito control methods are facing severe challenges:

1.      Spreading Resistance: Mosquitoes in 83% of global regions have developed resistance to pyrethroids.

2.      Significant Ecological Toxicity: Insecticides inhibit cholinesterase activity in aquatic organisms by ≥60%, damaging aquatic ecosystems.

3.      Human Health Risks: Infants and young children face a 2.3-fold increased risk of respiratory exposure to neurotoxic substances.

Facing this public health challenge, XUYU Optoelectronics based on in-depth research into the spectral response mechanisms of insect vision, has independently developed Dual-Mode High-Efficiency Mosquito Vector Control LED Technology, offering a safe, eco-friendly, and highly efficient innovative solution.

【Core Technology Breakdown】

✅ Indoor Golden Warm Light Repellent Mode (Peak 585-595nm): Utilizes specific wavelength spectra to activate the R1-R6 photoreceptor cells in mosquito compound eyes. This suppresses the expression of CO₂ chemotaxis receptors, triggering avoidance behavior, with a repellency rate of up to 82%. Furthermore, its 1800K golden warm light design (with an ultra-low 800K option) creates a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. It also features high color rendering index (CRI), high color purity, high luminous efficacy, and industry-standard RG0 blue light safety rating, protecting visual health and being circadian-friendly without disrupting the human biological clock.

✅ Outdoor UVA Trap Mode (Peak 365-395nm): Employs high-quality chips to precisely emit near-ultraviolet (UVA) spectra, highly simulating the reflection characteristics of mammalian skin fatty acids. This effectively triggers L3/L4 optic lobe neural signals in mosquitoes, directionally luring them into controlled areas with a trapping rate of up to 79%. Achieves ±5nm spectral precision control to ensure the biological effectiveness of the light stimulus.

【Typical Application Scenarios】

·         Households: Living rooms, bedrooms, children's rooms, balconies, courtyards, providing a safe and comfortable light environment.

·         Outdoor Activities: Camping, picnics, balcony relaxation – portable mosquito repellent and illumination combined.

·         Commercial Spaces: Restaurant patios, hotel gardens, shop entrances – enhancing customer comfort in outdoor areas.

·         Public Health Vector Control: Core component for intelligent light trap systems in parks, efficiently trapping and killing mosquitoes, significantly reducing reliance on and usage of chemical insecticides.

The ongoing spread of the Chikungunya outbreak poses yet another severe test for global public health systems and underscores the urgency for innovative mosquito vector control technologies. XUYU Optoelectronics deeply understands this challenge.
