Xiamen Customs intercepted 2000 live cockroaches in an empty box. Will Periplaneta americana affect human beings?

As an exotic species, Periplaneta americana may affect the ecological environment and plant system in other areas if it is not effectively controlled and managed.

As a characteristic cockroach in North America, Periplaneta americana has no special natural enemies to control it in China's regional environment. If these exotic species are rashly introduced into China, it will have a serious impact on the domestic ecological environment, and all kinds of pathogenic bacteria carried by cockroaches will also threaten people's health and safety.

One: What's the matter?

According to the relevant notice of Xiamen Customs, they intercepted some unauthorized Periplaneta americana in the relevant goods entering the country. Because Periplaneta americana is an exotic species, it also carries many related pathogens harmful to human beings. Therefore, if this species is transported and treated rashly without permission, it will not only affect human health, but also trigger the related invasion of alien species in this area.

Two: Cockroaches in Dalian, USA are alien invasive species.

In different areas, different animals and plants have formed their own coexisting reproduction and living systems in the long-term survival and evolution. However, with the development of global trade, many animals have entered new areas with the convenience of globalization, settled in new habitats and multiplied and spread in large numbers. Without the influence of natural enemies, it not only affects the ecological diversity of local biological populations, but also does great harm to human economic development and crop production.

Three: Animals and plants imported from other areas should be controlled and treated accordingly.

Therefore, alien species such as Periplaneta americana must be strictly controlled and treated when introduced. Cockroaches have a strong ability to reproduce and survive. Poor management will not only lead to the spread of pathogenic bacteria in cities, but also cause related ecological control problems. If ordinary people find some unknown alien species in their daily life, they will live in the local area. We should also report to the relevant departments in time. Prevent the expansion of reproduction from endangering the local ecological environment.
