Evaluation of a "cow-type" silhouette trap with and without CO2 bait for monitoring populations of adult Simulium luggeri (Diptera: Simuliidae).
نویسنده
چکیده
A "cow-type" silhouette trap with "head" and "body" collecting chambers was evaluated for use in monitoring adult populations of Simulium luggeri in Saskatchewan. Ninety-five percent of the black flies taken were S. luggeri. Other species collected included S. vittatum, S. meridionale, S. venustum and S. decorum. Traps baited with CO2 collected significantly more (P less than 0.01) S. luggeri than unbaited traps. The "body" collecting chamber took significantly more (P less than 0.01) S. luggeri than the "head" collecting chamber.

BACKGROUND The Esperanza Window Trap (EWT) baited with CO2 and human sweat compounds is attractive to Simulium ochraceum s.l., the primary vector of Onchocerca volvulus in the historically largest endemic foci in México and Guatemala. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The ability of the EWT to locally reduce numbers of questing S. ochraceum s.l. was evaluated in two formerly onchocerciasis endem...

Two new black fly species, Simulium (Gomphostilbia) brinchangense and S. (G.) tanahrataense, are described on the basis of reared adult females, males, pupae and larvae from Cameron's Highlands, Peninsular Malaysia. These new species are assigned to the asakoae species-group within Simulium (Gomphostilbia) and taxonomic notes are given to distinguish each new species from six known species in M...
