背景：目前没有有效的工具来捕获产卵的疟疾媒介。这给我们研究妊娠按蚊的行为和生态学造成了一个空白。结果：本文描述了一种简单的诱蚊器，用于收集产卵的按蚊和库蚊。它由涂有胶水的醋酸片组成，漂浮在水面上。在坦桑尼亚农村选择了10个繁殖地点，并在每个地点设置了10个粘捕器。共捕获74只妊娠按蚊（54安）。阿拉伯人，1年。gambiae s.s.和16个未放大的)和1333个graviccuisine，仅仅在两个陷阱的晚上。这个简单的采样工具为我们进一步了解怀孕雌性按蚊的行为和生态提供了一个机会。这有力地表明，在非洲，至少有两种主要的疟疾媒介在产卵过程中出现在水面上，并表明按蚊和库氏按蚊经常共享相同的繁殖地点。结论：该诱捕器简单有效，可用于研究以产卵行为为媒介的蚊虫产卵地点选择和产卵量、妊娠扩散和媒介控制技术。
Background: No effective tool currently exists for trapping ovipositing malaria vectors. This creates a gap in our ability to investigate the behavior and ecology of gravid Anopheles.Findings: Here we describe a simple trap that collects ovipositing Anopheline and Culicine mosquitoes. It consists of an acetate sheet coated in glue that floats on the water surface. Ten breeding sites were selected in rural Tanzania and 10 sticky traps set in each. These caught a total of 74 gravid Anopheles (54 An. arabiensis, 1 An. gambiae s.s. and 16 unamplified) and 1333 gravid Culicines, in just two trap nights. This simple sampling tool provides an opportunity to further our understanding of the behavior and ecology of gravid female Anophelines. It strongly implies that at least two of the major vectors of malaria in Africa land on the water surface during the oviposition process, and demonstrates that Anophelines and Culicines often share the same breeding sites.Conclusion: This simple and efficient trap has clear potential for the study of oviposition site choice and productivity, gravid dispersal, and vector control techniques which use oviposition behavior as a means of disseminating larvicides.
