Adaptation of the BG-Sentinel trap to capture male and female #Aedes albopictus$ mosquitoes Lacroix R. auteur aut IRD Delatte Hélène auteur aut IRD Hue T. auteur aut IRD Dehecq J. S. auteur aut IRD Reiter P. auteur aut IRD text journalArticle eng text/pdf born digital access In recent years, the remarkable spread of Aedes albopictus (Skuse) (Diptera: Culicidae) throughout the world has drawn attention to this hitherto poorly studied species, particularly after its role in outbreaks of chikungunya fever in the western Indian Ocean and in Italy. Variants of sterile insect technique (SIT), including the release of transgenic males with a dominant lethal gene (RIDL), have been proposed in the search for new and innovative methods of control. Knowledge of male dispersal, mating behaviour and longevity will be critical to the success of this approach. We present an effective and practical method for trapping both male and female Ae. albopictus using a mouse-baited BG-Sentinel trap. specialized Aedes aegypti Aedes albopictus chikungunya dengue field collection male mosquitoes mosquito traps 052 Medical and Veterinary Entomology 23 2 160-162 2009 0269-283X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010046109 10.1111/j.1365-2915.2009.00806.x 0269-283X [F B010046109] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010046109 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2009/06/010046109.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2009-07-08 2017-08-23 fdi:010046109 fre
