A Novel Autocidal Ovitrap for the Surveillance and Control of Aedes aegypti [PDF]

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2013
We describe an inexpensive autocidal ovitrap for Aedes aegypti that uses cross-linked polyacrylamide (PAM) gel as the oviposition substrate. Aedes aegypti females readily laid eggs on PAM gel that had been hydrated with either hay infusion or water. Aedes aegypti larvae that hatched from their eggs desiccated on the surface of the PAM gel.

Applicability of the Mexican ovitrap system for Aedes vector surveillance in Colombia

Pathogens and Global Health, 2022
Ovitraps can detect Aedes vectors at an early stage and can serve as an alarm indicator for outbreak prediction. This study aimed to summarize the available literature about the ovitrap system and to determine its feasibility, required resources and costs when installing and maintaining this vector surveillance system in the municipality of Los Patios,

A new algorithm for segmenting and counting aedes aegypti eggs in ovitraps

2009 Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2009
Dengue fever has become a major international public health concern in recent decades. As dengue fever not have available vaccine or specific treatment, the only known form to prevent the illness is by applying strategies to control its vector, the Aedes aegypti mosquito.

Laboratory Evaluation of a Novel Lethal Ovitrap for Control of Aedes aegypti

Journal of Medical Entomology, 2017
Aedes aegypti (L.) (Diptera: Culicidae) are known to flourish in a variety of natural and residential habitats and are competent vectors of at least 22 different arboviruses, including dengue, chikungunya, and Zika. Their global distribution, anthropophilic nature, and vector competency make them species of interest for control.

The lethal ovitrap: a response to the resurgence of dengue and chikungunya.

U.S. Army Medical Department journal, 2012
There has been a global resurgence in dengue fever since the 1960s and now more than one third of the world's population lives in dengue endemic areas. Chikungunya, another mosquito-borne disease, had been limited to sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia, but recently spread to Italy and France, raising concerns that it could spread to many more ...
