As early as 1922 Rudolfs reported that carbon dioxide was an attractant for mosquitoes, and that carbon dioxide produced by breathing was an important factor in attracting mosquitoes to their hosts. Since then there have been differences of opinion as to
New mosquito traps were devised: electroshock and adhesive traps using carbon dioxide and heat for attracting and killing mosquitoes. The electroshock trap is supplied with carbon dioxide by a portable cylinder and with heat and high voltage by electric power. The adhesive trap is supplied with ...
Influence of vegetation on carbon dioxide trap effectiveness for sampling mosquitoes in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Kern County, California. The effect of vegetation on sampling Culex tarsalis, Cx. quinquefasciatus and Aedes nigromaculis by CO2 traps was evaluated at an intermittent stream habit....
The orientation behavior of two species of ornithophagous mosquitoes, Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus Say and Culex tarsalis Coquillett, was examined while approaching CO2-baited mosquito traps in a field wind tunnel. The four traps used in this study were the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) sty...
Maximum radius of carbon dioxide baited trap impact in woodland: implications for host-finding by mosquitoes Abstract CDC traps were used to determine the maximum radius of carbon dioxide attraction within forest habitat (a forest plant community withCarpino betuli-Quercetum roburis). A central ...

The finding of blood-fed malaria vectors in traps baited with the Mbita blend and CO2 derived from molasses provides a unique opportunity for the study of host-vector interactions. 展开 关键词: Anopheles funestus Anopheles gambiae Attraction Molasses Behaviour Sugar Mosquitoes Sucrose Malaria Carbon ...
To test mosquito attraction to humans, we counted the number of wild-type and mutant mosquitoes landing on a seated volunteer positioned within either the house or yard of the semi-field cage (Figure 5B, green and orange circles, respectively). The mosquito traps were inaccessible during human-...

Significantly more mosquitoes were caught in a CFG trap baited with carbon dioxide than in traps with either human foot odour, acetone or butyric acid. It was also found that in an outdoor situation a carbon dioxide baited CDC unlit trap collected over 12 times moreC. quinquefasciatusthan ...
