New records and updated checklist of phlebotomine sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae) From Liberia
Obenauer PJ , Rueda LM , El-Hossary SS , Watany N , Stoops CA , Fakoli LS , Bolay FK , Diclaro JW 2nd . J Med Entomol 2016 53 (3) 717-720 Phlebotomine sand flies from three counties in Liberia were collected from January 2011 to July 2013. In total, 3,118 sand flies were collected: 18 species were identified, 13 of which represented new records for Liberia. An updated taxonomic checklist is provided with a brief note on sand fly biology, and the disease vector potential for species is discussed. |
Assessing carbon dioxide and synthetic lure-baited traps for dengue and chikungunya vector surveillance
Harwood JF , Arimoto H , Nunn P , Richardson AG , Obenauer PJ . J Am Mosq Control Assoc 2015 31 (3) 242-7 The Aedes mosquito vectors of dengue virus (DENV) and chikungunya virus (CHIKV) are attracted to specific host cues that are not generated by traditional light traps. For this reason multiple companies have designed traps to specifically target those species. Recently the standard trap for DENV and CHIKV vectors, the BG-Sentinel (BGS) trap, has been remodeled to be more durable and better suited for use in harsh field conditions, common during military operations, and relabeled the BG-Sentinel 2 (BGS2). This new trap was evaluated against the standard Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) light trap, Zumba Trap, and BG-Mosquitito Trap to determine relative effectiveness in collecting adult Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus. Evaluations were conducted under semifield and field conditions in suburban areas in northeastern Florida from May to August 2014. The BGS2 trap collected more DENV and CHIKV vectors than the standard CDC light trap, Zumba Trap, and BG-Mosquitito Trap, but attracted fewer species, while the BG-Mosquitito Trap attracted the greatest number of mosquito species. |
