| Abstract | In this report, the efficiency of Adultrap under field conditions is compared to a CDC backpack aspirator and to
MosquiTRAP. An urban dengue-endemic area of Rio de Janeiro was selected to evaluate the efficiency of mosquito
traps in capturing Aedes aegypti females. Adultrap and aspirator captured similar numbers of Ae. aegypti females,
with the former showing high specificity to gravid individuals (93.6%). A subsequent mark-release-recapture experiment
was conducted to evaluate Adultrap and MosquiTRAP efficiency concomitantly. With a 6.34% recapture
rate, MosquiTRAP captured a higher mean number of female Ae. aegypti per trap than Adultrap (χ2 = 14.26; df = 1;
p < 0,05). However, some MosquiTRAPs (28.12%) contained immature Ae. aegypti after 18 days of exposure in the
field and could be pointed as an oviposition site for female mosquitoes. Both trapping methods, designed to collect
gravid Ae. aegypti females, seem to be efficient, reliable and may aid routine Ae. aegypti surveillance. | pt_BR |
