چکیده

A vector surveillance trap support was designed as a tripod of polyvinyl chloride pipes to suspend carbon dioxide-baited traps. This system offers several advantages, including increased ease of transport and trap placement at varied sampling sites, particularly in adverse environments not conducive to previous methods of support. Presentation of the simple design and manufacture of the tripod support is provided.

The relative attractiveness of carbon dioxide and octenol in CDC- and EVS-type light traps for sampling the mosquitoes Aedes aegypti (L.), Aedes polynesiensis Marks, and Culex quinquefasciatus say in Moorea, French Polynesia.

Two dominant day-biting pests and vector species on the island of Moorea in French Polynesia are Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti (L.) and Aedes (Stegomyia) polynesiensis Marks, major vectors of dengue viruses and Wuchereria bancrofti, respectively. Their surveillance is hindered by a relative lack of attraction to light traps, necessitating the undesirable use of human bait collections with the inher...

Variation in Baiting Intensity Among CO2-Baited Traps Used to Collect Hematophagous Arthropods

Hematophagous arthropods transmit the etiological agents of numerous diseases and as a result are frequently the targets of sampling to characterize vector and pathogen populations. Arguably, the most commonly used sampling approach involves traps baited with carbon dioxide. We report results of a laboratory study in which the performance of carbon dioxide-baited traps was evaluated using measu...

Comparison of different trapping methods for surveillance of mosquito vectors of West Nile virus in Rhône Delta, France.

Five trapping methods were compared for monitoring potential vectors of the West Nile virus in four areas in the Camargue Plain of France: carbon dioxide traps, bird-baited traps, gravid traps, resting boxes, and human landing catches. A total of 73,721 specimens, representing 14 species, was trapped in 2006. Results showed significant differences in species and abundance between the type of tr...
