在肯尼亚西部的两个村庄，将CDC（传染病中心）的光诱法与人饵法作为疟疾媒介采样的替代方法进行了比较。CDC灯诱法捕获的狐按蚊和冈比亚按蚊数量与人饵法捕获的冈比亚按蚊数量呈显著相关，而阿拉伯按蚊数量与人饵法捕获的冈比亚按蚊数量无显著相关。诱捕器捕获的雌性病媒生物大多为未喂食的。CDC诱蚊灯捕获的阿拉伯蠓胎数（44.3%）显著低于人饵捕获的阿拉伯蠓胎数（54.5%）。尽管CDC光诱器为收集病媒提供了一种廉价和方便的方法，但仍应进行进一步的研究，以确定收集物的大小和年龄结构中物种特异性变异的影响，因为这种变异会影响对数据的流行病学解释。
CDC (Communicable Disease Center) light-traps were compared with human-bait collections as an alternative method for sampling malaria vectors in two villages of western Kenya. The numbers of Anopheles funestus Giles and Anopheles gambiae sensu lato Giles in CDC light-trap collections were significantly correlated to the numbers caught in human-bait collections, but in Anopheles arabiensis Patton the two collections were not significantly correlated. Most of the female vectors collected in the traps were unfed. Parity of A. arabiensis collected in CDC light-traps (44.3%) was significantly lower than the rate obtained from females caught on human-bait (54.5%). Although, CDC light-traps provide a cheap and convenient method for collecting vectors, further studies should nevertheless be undertaken to determine the influence of species-specific variation in the sizes and age-structure of collections because such variations can affect the epidemiological interpretation of the data.
