Gis Based Site Selection For Fixing Uv Light Adult Mosquito Trap And Gravid Adult Mosquito Trap For Epidemic Control In The Urban Settlements
نویسنده
چکیده
The mosquito’s nuisance becomes major problems in the metropolitan cities in India now days. The endemic situation of vector borne diseases (VBDs) and the sporadic of such diseases, known as, malaria, filariasis, JE, dengue and chikungunya have been most important challenging problems in the urban settlements now days in India. The Arc View 3.2, Arc View Spatial analysis and Arc View image analyst GIS was used for creating a systematic grids on 2.5 km interval for fixing the UV adult traps for collecting the optimum vector mosquitoes in the domestic and peripheral domestic areas in the city. The GIS based (2.5km X 2.5km) grid map was overlaid on the Pondicherry town digital map on 1:50,000 scale. GARMIN 12XL GPS was used for site selection for fixing the adult UV traps in the inter section or nearby inter section of the grids points. The of Anopheles genus, Culex genus and Aedes genus vector mosquitoes were collected every day, using normal light adult trap and UV light adult trap, and it was transferred to MS excel work sheet for mapping and analysis. The GIS was used to analysis and recommended for control activities and management of the present situation of mosquito nuisance in the metropolitan cities.

A novel mosquito trapping system, the BG-Sentinel trap, was evaluated as a monitoring tool for adult Aedes aegypti in field tests in the city of Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Human landing/biting collections, a gas-powered CO2 trap, and a Fay-Prince trap with only visual cues serving as references to evaluate the efficacy of the new trap. The BG-Sentinel is a simple suction trap that uses upward-dire...

The 1st confirmed record of Culex coronator for Louisiana was made at Fort Polk, LA, from carbon dioxide-baited light trap and gravid trap collections performed from April to October 2004. In addition to the new record, 17 mosquito species in 5 genera (Aedes, Anopheles, Coquillettidia, Culex, and Psorophora) were collected. Collection-site and species distribution data are included.

Centers for Disease Control miniature light traps augmented with CO2 provide an effective method of monitoring Culex abundance and may provide a useful supplement to New Jersey light traps used by the California Mosquito Surveillance Program. To assist in standardizing sampling protocols, the present research compared the catch of adult mosquitoes collected using 4 trap designs and 3 CO2 presen...
