چکیده

We conducted two experiments to determine the best CDC-trap configuration for catching male and female Phlebotomus papatasi. First, visual features were evaluated. Standard CDC traps were modified to have black or white catch bags, black or white lids, or no lids and these were tried in different combinations. Significantly more male sand flies were caught by darker traps; significantly more females were captured by traps with either all black or a combination of black and white features. Attraction may be due to dark color or contrast in colors. CDC traps with suction and the following features were also evaluated: no light; incandescent light; ultraviolet (UV) light; combination of black color, heat and moisture; CO(2) alone, or a combination of black color, heat, moisture, and CO(2) simultaneously, all in upright and inverted positions, with the opening for insect entry always 50 cm above the ground. Significantly more females than males were caught by all traps (standard and inverted) except the control traps with suction only. Traps with CO(2) caught more sand flies than traps without CO(2.) Traps with black color, heat and moisture captured significantly more sand flies than the control traps, but with the addition of CO(2) , these traps catch significantly more sand flies than the other traps evaluated. Inverting traps increased the catch for like traps by about two times.

Evaluation of propane combustion traps for the collection of <i>Phlebotomus papatasi</i> (Scopoli) in southern Israel

In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of eleven commercial models of propane combustion traps for catching male and female Phlebotomus papatasi. The traps differed in physical appearance, amount of carbon dioxide produced and released, type and location of capturing device, and the method by which the trap suction fans were powered. The traps tested were the Mosquito MagnetTM(MM)-Pro, MM-Lib...
