Comparison of Fan-Traps and Gravitraps for Aedes Mosquito Surveillance in Taiwan.

ABSTRACT: A key component of integrated vector management strategies is the efficient implementation of mosquito traps for surveillance and control. Numerous trap types have been created with distinct designs and capture mechanisms, but identification of the most effective trap type is critical for effective implementation. For dengue vector surveillance, previous studies have demonstrated that active traps utilizing CO₂ attractant are more effective than passive traps for capturing Aedes mosquitoes. However, maintaining CO₂ supply in traps is so labor intensive as to be likely unfeasible in crowded residential areas, and it is unclear how much more effective active traps lacking attractants are than purely passive traps. In this study, we analyzed Aedes capture d
