Abstract Chemical-based interventions are mostly used to control insects that harmful human health and agriculture or simply cause a nuisance. An overreliance on these insecticides however raises concerns for the environment, health, development of resistance, not only in target species. As such, there is critical need novel nonchemical technologies insects. Electrocution traps using UV light as an attractant one classical approach insect but lack specificity necessary pest avoid harmless...
Arizona is home to many mosquito species, some of which are known vectors infectious diseases that harm both humans and animals. Here, we provide an overview the 56 species have been identified in State date, but also discuss their feeding preference they can (potentially) transmit This list unlikely be complete for several reasons: (i) Arizona’s mosquitoes not systematically surveyed areas, (ii) surveillance efforts often target specific interest, (iii) doubts raised by one or more...
Background The control and prevention of mosquito-borne diseases is mostly achieved with insecticides. However, their use has led to the rapid development spread insecticide resistance worldwide. Health experts have called for intensified efforts find new approaches reduce mosquito populations human-mosquito contact. A promising tool electrical fields (EFs), whereby mosquitoes are repelled by charged particles in flight path. Such move between two or more conductors, uninsulated copper...
We compared the effectiveness of 4 different carbon dioxide (CO2) sources (sugar-fermented BG-CO2, sugar-fermented Fleischmann yeast, dry ice, and compressed gas cylinders) in attracting mosquito species 2 separate × Latin square trials. The CO2 generated by ice cylinders collected more Culex quinquefasciatus than BG-CO2 yeasts during 1st trial (16-h surveillance periods), but there was no significant difference Aedes aegypti numbers. There were differences between collecting Cx. Ae....
