Aedes aegypti Linnaeus (Diptera: Culicidae) is a primary vector of multiple arboviruses including Zika, dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever. After incorporating BG lure or BG lure + octenol, the CDC's Autocidal Gravid Ovitrap (AGO) was more effective at collecting and controlling host-seeking female Ae. aegypti than gravid female mosquitoes. The addition of octenol to the AGO did not increase the number of female mosquitoes captured by the AGO, compared with the AGO alone. The AGO baited with the BG lure captured a significant number of host-seeking female Ae. aegypti. This finding indicates that the combination of AGO with BG lure could enable the trap to control female Ae. aegypti mosquitoes representing either host-seeking or gravid physiological states.
埃及伊蚊(双翅目:蚊科)是多种虫媒病毒的主要传播媒介,包括寨卡病毒、登革热、基孔肯雅热和黄热病。在加入 BG 诱芯或 BG 诱芯+八碳醇后,疾病预防控制中心的自灭式诱卵器(AGO)在收集和控制寻找宿主的雌性埃及伊蚊方面比怀有身孕的雌性蚊子更有效。与单独使用 AGO 相比,AGO 中添加八碳醇并不会增加 AGO 捕获的雌性蚊子数量。BG 诱芯诱捕到大量寻找宿主的雌性埃及伊蚊。这一发现表明,AGO 与 BG 诱芯的结合可以使诱捕器控制处于寻找宿主或怀有身孕生理状态的雌性埃及伊蚊。
