Field Evaluation of Lethal Ovitrap against Dengue Vectors

Abstract

Ovitraps have been used to effectively sample dengue mosquito vector populations, particularly Aedes aegypti, for over a decade. Modifying a standard ovitrap by incorporating an insecticide would result in a lethal ovitrap (LO) that could be used as an inexpensive, environmentally sound dengue vector suppression method. These lethal ovitraps could be integrated into existing control programs, such as community based clean-up campaigns which focus on the reduction of mosquito breeding sites. The objectives of this study were to determine the efficacy of lethal ovitrapping in suppression of dengue mosquito vector populations in Barbados, east Timor and India.
