چکیده

The effectiveness of four types of mosquito traps at sampling Culex mosquitoes was compared at two north central Florida study sites (a commercial dairy and a swine research unit) with highly eutrophic lagoons that have a history of producing large populations of Culex mosquitoes. Traps evaluated included a John Hock (JH) model 1012 CDC style light trap, JH model 1712 CDC Gravid Trap (GT), and American Biophysics Corporation's Mosquito Magnet-Experimental (MM-X) and commercial model MM-Professional (MM-Pro) traps. The MM-X and MM-Pro traps are based on new counterflow technology. Culex nigripalpus Theobald and Culex quinquefasciatus Say were the two most abundant species collected, and they were the dominant species at the dairy site and swine research unit, respectively. Culex erraticus Dyar & Knabb and Culex salinarius Coquillett also were caught but in much lower numbers than the two dominant species at the swine unit, and rarely at the dairy site. At the dairy site the MM-Pro collection of total female Cx. quinquefasciatus was significantly greater than all other trap types (MM-Pro > GT > MM-X = CDC), and the MM-Pro also caught the most Cx. nigripalpus, but not significantly more than the CDC or MM-X (MM-Pro = CDC = MM-X > GT). At the swine research unit the largest number of female Cx. quinquefasciatus were caught in the MM-X trap, but the only significant difference was with the CDC trap (MM-X = MM-Pro = CT > CDC). For Cx. nigripalpus the CDC trap caught the most females, but these collections were only significantly different from the MM-Pro and GT (CDC = MM-X > MM-Pro > GT). The GT caught significantly more gravid female Cx. quinquefasciatus than all the other trap types at both sites, but collected very few gravid Cx. nigripalpus at either site.

Host-seeking height preferences of Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) in north central Florida suburban and sylvatic locales.

The response of Aedes albopictus to the BG-Sentinel, Omni-directional-Fay-Prince, and Mosquito MagnetX traps was evaluated in four suburban and four sylvatic habitats in north-central Florida to ascertain potential height preference of this species. These traps, which are primarily designed to attract diurnal mosquitoes, were set at 1 and 6 m and were evaluated during 40 trapping periods over 4...

Standard surveillance traps in North America for adult Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae), an invasive mosquito with public health implications, are currently ineffective. We compared the efficacy of the BG-Sentinel trap (BGS) with and without lures (BG-lure, octenol, and CO2), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention light trap (CDC) with and without lures, and the gravid trap...
