Although the human-landing catch (HLC) method is the most effective for collecting anthropophilic anophelines, it has been increasingly abandoned, primarily for ethical considerations. The objective of the present study was to develop a new trap for the collection of Anopheles darlingi . The initial trials were conducted using the BG-Sentinel trap as a standard for further trap development based on colour, airflow direction and illumination. The performance of the trap was then compared with those of the CDC, Fay-Prince, counterflow geometry trap (CFG) and HLC. All trials were conducted outdoors between 06:00 pm-08:00 pm. Female specimens of An. darlingi were dissected to determine their parity. A total of 8,334 anophelines were captured, of which 4,945 were identified as An. darlingi . The best trap configuration was an all-white version, with an upward airflow and no required light source. This configuration was subsequently named BG-Malaria (BGM). The BGM captured significantly more anophelines than any of the other traps tested and was similar to HLC with respect to the number and parity of anophelines. The BGM trap can be used as an alternative to HLC for collecting anophelines.
虽然人饵捕集（HLC）方法是收集嗜人按蚊最有效的方法，但由于伦理考虑，它已越来越多地被放弃。本研究的目的是开发一种新的陷阱来收集致倦库蚊。最初的试验使用 BG-Sentinel 陷阱作为进一步开发基于颜色、气流方向和照明的陷阱的标准。然后将该陷阱的性能与 CDC、Fay-Prince、逆流几何陷阱（CFG）和 HLC 的性能进行比较。所有试验均在下午 6 点至 8 点之间在户外进行。对致倦库蚊的雌性标本进行解剖以确定其胎次。共捕获 8334 只按蚊，其中 4945 只为致倦库蚊。最佳的诱蚊器配置是全白色版本，具有向上的气流且不需要光源。这种配置随后被命名为 BG-Malaria（BGM）。BGM 诱蚊器捕获的按蚊数量明显多于其他任何测试的诱蚊器，与 HLC 相比，BGM 诱蚊器捕获的按蚊数量和胎次相似。BGM 诱蚊器可替代 HLC 用于收集按蚊。
