The OFF! Clip-On fan vaporizer device releasing metofluthrin was evaluated against phletobomine sand flies in the Judean Desert, Israel, in October, 2009. A total of 76,400 sand flies was collected, with male flies representing 98.3%Phlebotomus sergenti and 1.7%P. papatasi. Females comprised 43.0% of the total catch and included 6.7% blood-fed females. Similar proportions of flies were collecte...

background: rodents play an important role as reservoir of some pathogens, and the host of some ectoparasites as well. these ectoparasites can transmit rodents’ pathogens to human or animals. the aim of this study was to assess the distribution and infestation load of ectoparasites on rodents in meshkin-shahr district, northwestern iran . method: rodents were captured using baited live traps in...

Centers for Disease Control miniature light traps augmented with CO2 provide an effective method of monitoring Culex abundance and may provide a useful supplement to New Jersey light traps used by the California Mosquito Surveillance Program. To assist in standardizing sampling protocols, the present research compared the catch of adult mosquitoes collected using 4 trap designs and 3 CO2 presen...

Abstract: This study provides the first inventory of small non-volant mammals in Parque Estadual das Fontes do Ipiranga (PEFI), a protected area city São Paulo, Brazil. The data was collected from 2015 to 2017 16 research campaigns with duration five days each. Four areas different phytophysiognomies were sampled throughout dry and rainy seasons. We using live-capture pitfall traps. Eleven spec...

A removal trapping method that employed individual lure-baited insect suction traps for the reduction of adult biting midges (Culicoides spp.) was evaluated in a coastal residential neighborhood of northwestern Florida during 2000. Six backyards were used in the study. Lure-baited traps consisted of one ABC PRO insect suction trap (fitted with a 30 by 30-mesh polyester screen bag) baited with c...

We conducted a study on diversity and habitat requirements of small mammals in the western part of the Albertine Rift, eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. The work aimed at providing a more complete list of species recorded to date and their habitat requirements to aid conservation efforts in the region. Trapping was conducted using Museum special, Victor traps, Sherman live traps and pitfall...

the tribe meteorini (cresson, 1887) (braconidae: euphorinae) of northern iran was studied. the specimens were collected using malaise traps during 2010 and 2011. a total of 13 species were collected and identified, among them eight species viz., zele albiditarsus curtis, meteorus alborossicus lobodenko, m. breviantennatus tobias, m. cinctellus (spinola), m. colon (haliday), m. consimilis (nees)...

(1) Background: Coleoptera is one of the most diverse insect lineages. The beetle species live in many ecosystems around globe and their roles are very diverse; thus, it important to know local regional fauna varieties, especially for protected areas, such as nature reserves national parks. (2) Methods: materials were collected from territory Khvalynsky National Park (European Russia, Saratov r...

Effective methods for early detection of newly established, low density emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire) infestations are critically needed in North America. We assessed adult A. planipennis captures on four types of traps in a 16-ha site in central Michigan. The site was divided into 16 blocks, each comprised of four 50- by 50-m cells. Green ash trees (Fraxinus pennsylvanica ...
