Overview

Surveillance evaluates trapping efficiency of three mosquito traps and their role in monitoring arbovirus presence.

Key Points

  • To assess the effectiveness of different mosquito traps in capturing diverse mosquito species and detecting arboviruses in wetlands.
  • Evaluated two adult mosquito traps (BGS and MM) over 12 weeks in four wetlands.
  • Deployed a Box-Gravid trap with FTA™ cards for arbovirus detection.
  • Collected a total of 11,584 adult female mosquitoes of 15 species.
  • MM trap captured significantly more mosquitoes overall.
  • BGS trap showed greater species evenness and effectively caught Culex pipiens.
  • No WNV detected in any mosquito pools or FTA™ cards.
