The efficacy of a standard ovitrap and an ovitrap featuring an internal wall covered by a polybutylene adhesive was compared in field studies in Cairns, Australia. The sticky ovitrap was as effective as the standard ovitrap in detecting Aedes aegypti, with 67.5% and 64% of traps positive for Ae. aegypti, respectively. Significantly higher numbers of Ae. aegypti were collected by traps set outside rather than inside premises. Sticky ovitraps also readily collected Ochlerotatus notoscriptus and, especially, Culex quinquefasciatus. With a 10X hand lens, mosquitoes of these species could readily be identified in traps set for 3 and 7 days. The sticky ovitraps were comparable in cost and as time efficient as standard ovitraps. The greatest advantage of the sticky ovitrap is the collection of adult female mosquitoes, negating the need to rear larvae for identification and providing a faster, more direct measure of the effectiveness of ovipositional attractants than egg counts. Finally, we demonstrated that sticky ovitraps, being adulticidal, have potential as a supplementary control measure, especially for quarantine programs designed to prevent the import and export of container-breeding vector mosquitoes at sea- and airports.
在澳大利亚凯恩斯进行的实地研究中，对标准诱蚊产卵器和内壁覆盖聚丁烯粘合剂的诱蚊产卵器的功效进行了比较。粘性诱蚊产卵器在检测埃及伊蚊方面与标准诱蚊产卵器效果相同，分别有67.5%和64%的诱捕器检测到埃及伊蚊呈阳性。在室外设置的诱捕器捕获的埃及伊蚊数量显著高于室内。粘性诱蚊产卵器还很容易捕获到褐尾库蚊，尤其是致倦库蚊。用10倍手持放大镜，在设置3天和7天的诱捕器中可以很容易地识别出这些种类的蚊子。粘性诱蚊产卵器在成本和时间效率上与标准诱蚊产卵器相当。粘性诱蚊产卵器的最大优点是能够捕获成年雌蚊，无需饲养幼虫进行鉴定，并且比计数蚊卵能更快、更直接地衡量产卵引诱剂的有效性。最后，我们证明粘性诱蚊产卵器具有杀成虫作用，有潜力作为一种补充控制措施，特别是对于旨在防止在海港和机场进出口容器孳生的媒介蚊子的检疫计划。
