Abstract:
Objective The effectiveness of the BG-Trap and human-baited double net trap(HDN)methods in monitoring Aedes albopictus were compared to assess the potential use of the BG-Trap method for dengue fever vector monitoring program.These findings would also provide a reference basis for formulating more effective dengue fever prevention and control strategies.Methods The study was conducted at six outdoor monitoring sites in three cities in Jiangsu Province in August and September,following a 3-d monitoring plan.Both traps were evaluated simultaneously at three time slots each day(16:00-16:30,17:00-17:30,and 18:00-18:30).Results Both the BG-Trap and HDN methods effectively captured female Ae.albopictus.The proportion of Ae.albopictus captured by the HDN method was higher than that captured by the BG-Trap method(χ2 = 0.162,P= 0.687),with no statistically significant differences in the composition ratio of male/female between the two methods(χ2=0.162,P=0.687).The average density index of Ae.albopictus for the BG-Trap method was 7.85±5.23/h,significantly lower than that of the HDN method at 27.04±13.86/h under the same sampling sites(t = 6.73,P＜0.001).Conclusion These results suggest that the BG-Trap method is less effective than the HDN method in Ae.albopictus monitoring.Further research is required to determine the applicability of this method for dengue fever vector monitoring.
