Enhancement of the CDC ovitrap with hay infusions for daily monitoring of Aedes aegypti populations.

چکیده
An ovitrap containing hay infusion and a second ovitrap adjacent to it containing a 10% dilution of the infusion in tap water together yielded 8 times more Aedes aegypti eggs than single CDC ovitraps containing tap water. These "enhanced pairs" were significantly more attractive than pairs with other combinations of infusion, water or methyl propionate, and have proven useful for daily monitoring of Ae. aegypti populations. Our results shed light on the oviposition behavior of Ae. aegypti in the field.

متن کاملReplacement of Aedes aegypti by Aedes albopictus in Mobile, Alabama.
Aedes albopictus was first detected in Mobile, AL, in 1987 during a CDC sponsored ovitrap survey in the Historic District. A comparison of ovitrap and larval surveys, done in 1957, 1984, 1987 and 1990, indicates that Ae. albopictus had replaced Aedes aegypti in urban Mobile. Possible explanations of this replacement, including displacement, are discussed.

The prevalence of the dengue hemorrhagic fever was found more in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Aedes mosquitoes was reported as the main cause of transmission of dengue virus. So the current study was planned ...

Background: Aedes aegypti is the main vector of the yellow fever and dengue virus. This mosquito has become the major indirect cause of morbidity and mortality of the human worldwide. Dengue virus activity has been reported recently in the western areas of Saudi Arabia. There is no vaccine for dengue virus until now, and the control of the disease depends on the control of the vector. Objectiv...

Ovitraps containing various concentrations of hay infusion and tap water were exposed weekly in the field for 15 wk to determine the oviposition patterns of Aedes aegypti. The results showed 10, 20, 60 and 80% hay infusions each attracted similar numbers of Ae. aegypti eggs oviposited and egg occurrences. No repellent effect was observed. In another field study, significantly more eggs and egg ...
