Trapping the tiger : efficacy of the novel bg-sentinel 2 with several attractants and carbon dioxide for collecting Aedes albopictus (Diptera : Culicidae) in Southern France /Roiz, David Duperier, S. Roussel, M. /Boussès, Philippe /Fontenille, Didier /Simard, Frédéric /Paupy, Christophe Aedes albopictus mosquito trapping BG-Sentinel trap attractant Targeted trapping of mosquito disease vectors plays an important role in the surveillance and control of mosquito-borne diseases. The Asian tiger mosquito, Aedes albopictus (Skuse), is an invasive species, which is spreading throughout the world, and is a potential vector of 24 arboviruses, particularly efficient in the transmission of chikungunya, dengue, and zika viruses. Using a 4 x 4 Latin square design, we assessed the efficacy of the new BG-Sentinel 2 mosquito trap using the attractants BG-lure and (R)-1-octen-3-ol cartridge, alone or in combination, and with and without carbon dioxide, for the field collection of Ae. albopictus mosquitoes. We found a synergistic effect of attractant and carbon dioxide that significantly increased twofold to fivefold the capture rate of Ae. albopictus. In combination with carbon dioxide, BG-lure cartridge is more effective than (R)-1-octen-3-ol in attracting females, while a combination of both attractants and carbon dioxide is the most effective for capturing males. In the absence of carbon dioxide, BG-lure cartridge alone did not increase the capture of males or females when compared with an unbaited trap. However, the synergistic effect of carbon dioxide and BG-lure makes this the most efficient combination in attracting Ae. albopictus. 2016 text https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010067087 fdi:010067087 Roiz David, Duperier S., Roussel M., Boussès Philippe, Fontenille Didier, Simard Frédéric, Paupy Christophe.
