A wind-sensitive vane apparatus was designed and implemented specifically to accommodate the attachment of otherwise unidirectional insecticide treatment cages used in ground ultra-low volume mosquito adulticide field tests. This cage support system is useful in keeping the potential West Nile virus and St. Louis encephalitis vector Culex quinquefasciatus caged mosquitoes oriented into the wind during field efficacy tests. Testing capacity for resistance surveillance was tripled during the 2005 season, and more reliable results were achieved as a consequence.
设计并实施了一种对风敏感的风向标装置，专门用于适配在地面超低容量灭蚊成虫现场测试中使用的单向杀虫剂处理笼的附着。这种笼子支撑系统有助于在现场药效测试期间，使潜在的西尼罗河病毒和圣路易斯脑炎病媒致倦库蚊被关在笼中的蚊子逆风定向。在2005年季节，抗性监测的测试能力提高了两倍，结果也更可靠。
