Faced with the increased frequency of zoonotic spillover in recent decades, emerging vector-borne diseases from nonhuman primates pose a significant threat to global public health. Understanding transmission dynamics driven by arthropod vectors between wildlife populations is critical for surveillance, modeling, and mitigation. Elevated canopy-level sampling is a valuable approach for elucidating vector behavior and sylvatic transmission. However, this is underused in many regions because of the logistical and mechanical challenges of repurposing ground-based trapping for the forest canopy. We review methods of canopy-level entomological surveillance, present case studies, and identify opportunities to integrate new technologies. Paired with robust experimental design, canopy-level trapping can complement existing surveillance of emerging zoonotic diseases and provide critical insights into the role of vectors driving spillover risks.
面对近几十年来人畜共患病溢出频率的增加，源自非人灵长类动物的新出现的媒介传播疾病对全球公共卫生构成了重大威胁。了解节肢动物媒介在野生动物种群之间驱动的传播动态对于监测、建模和缓解措施至关重要。树冠层高处采样是阐明媒介行为和丛林传播的一种有价值的方法。然而，由于将地面诱捕重新用于森林树冠层存在后勤和机械方面的挑战，这种方法在许多地区未得到充分利用。我们回顾了树冠层昆虫学监测方法，介绍了案例研究，并确定了整合新技术的机会。与强大的实验设计相结合，树冠层诱捕可以补充现有的新发人畜共患病监测，并为驱动溢出风险的媒介作用提供关键见解。
