Adult mosquitoes were collected from April 1984 to September 1985, at 3 sites at or adjacent to the Ross River Dam, north Queensland. The numbers attracted to dry ice baited encephalitis virus surveillance (EVS) light traps and to human bait were similar. Both methods sampled 18 taxa and ranked the abundances of Culex annulirostris, Anopheles annulipes s.l., Aedes vigilax, Mansonia uniformis and Ma. septempunctata similarly at each locality. Significant correlations between the 2 methods were found for all 5 of the dominant species, but were stronger for Ae. vigilax, Ma. uniformis and Ma. septempunctata than for Cx. annulirostris or An. annulipes. Human bait attracted more Cx. annulirostris, Ae. vigilax and Ma. uniformis than the EVS traps. The relative effectiveness of the 2 methods varied significantly with time for Cx. annulirostris and An. annulipes, but both methods revealed similar long term population trends. These data suggest that EVS surveillance may be better suited for sampling Ae. vigilax, and human bait (or alternatively animal bait) or a combination of both methods would be more appropriate for sampling Cx. annulirostris at the dam.
1984年4月至1985年9月期间，在昆士兰州北部罗斯河大坝或其附近的3个地点采集成年蚊子。被干冰诱饵脑炎病毒监测（EVS）诱蚊灯诱捕到的蚊子数量与被人诱饵诱捕到的数量相似。两种方法均采集到18个分类单元，并且在每个地点对环喙库蚊、环纹按蚊复合组、凶猛伊蚊、单色曼蚊和七斑曼蚊的丰度排名相似。对于所有5种优势物种，两种方法之间均存在显著相关性，但对于凶猛伊蚊、单色曼蚊和七斑曼蚊而言，相关性强于环喙库蚊或环纹按蚊。人诱饵诱捕到的环喙库蚊、凶猛伊蚊和单色曼蚊比EVS诱蚊灯更多。对于环喙库蚊和环纹按蚊，两种方法的相对有效性随时间变化显著，但两种方法均显示出相似的长期种群趋势。这些数据表明，EVS监测可能更适合于采集凶猛伊蚊，而人诱饵（或动物诱饵）或两种方法结合更适合于在大坝采集环喙库蚊。
