متن کاملAttraction to mammals of male mosquitoes with special reference to Aedes diantaeus in Sweden.
During investigations in central Sweden on the ecology of mosquito vectors of Ockelbo disease, large numbers of Aedes diantaeus males and lesser numbers of Ae. communis, Ae. excrucians and Ae. intrudens males were captured in animal-baited (rabbit, guinea pig, hen, dove, unbaited control) suction- and net-traps. In the five suction-traps, 57% of the diantaeus captured (N = 1,896) were males. Al...
متن کاملThe influence of carbon dioxide on the numbers of Culicoides midges collected with suction light traps in South Africa
To implement risk management against diseases transmitted by Culicoides species Latreille, 1809 (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) it will be essential to identify all potential vectors. Light traps are the most commonly used tool for the collection of Culicoides midges. Taking into account the indiscriminative artificial attraction of light, these traps will collect all night flying insects and not on...
