The effect of 1-octen-3-ol (octenol) on catches of estuarine biting midges in encephalitis vector surveillance (EVS) traps was examined in southeastern Queensland. Octenol by itself was not attractive but appeared to act as a synergist with CO2 to increase catches of most species. For four of six species tested, a medium (about 6 mg/h) release rate of octenol captured the most individuals. Addition of light also increased the catch size of most species. Octenol in combination with CO2 could be used to enhance biting midge catch size, improving the sensitivity of surveillance for midges and the pathogens they vector.
在昆士兰东南部，研究了1-辛烯-3-醇（辛烯醇）对用于脑炎媒介监测（EVS）诱捕器中河口蠓捕获量的影响。单独的辛烯醇并无吸引力，但似乎可作为二氧化碳的增效剂，增加大多数蠓种的捕获量。对于所测试的六个蠓种中的四个，辛烯醇中等（约6毫克/小时）的释放速率捕获的个体最多。添加灯光也增加了大多数蠓种的捕获量。辛烯醇与二氧化碳结合可用于提高蠓的捕获量，增强对蠓及其传播病原体监测的敏感性。
