(2014) A research for an eco-friendly mosquito control by using a new mosquito trap (Moshole trap) in a cowshed in Yeoju of Korea, Animal Cells and Systems, 18:4, 282-290, DOI: 10.1080/19768354.2014 We performed this study to find out if we could control mosquitoes in a cowshed by using CO 2 -baited mosquito traps. We used eco-friendly Mos-hole traps that were developed for mosquito control in human living areas and we also evaluated the traps' efficacy, if the traps would be effective in controlling mosquitoes in a cowshed. The study was performed for 54 days (from 18 May to 10 July 2012). During the first nine turns (from 18 May to 18 June), we used 12 mosquito traps, which were baited with low CO 2 emission (35-100 ml/minute) by burning and combusting liquid naphtha. In the next phase (10 to 13 turns; 21 June to 4 July), we kept the same low CO 2 emission in six traps but increased the CO 2 concentration (500 ml/minute) in the other six traps. In the 14th turn (July 10), all 12 mosquito traps were used with higher CO 2 concentration, using compressed cylinders of CO 2 . Mosquitoes were collected at each turn and the total trapped female mosquitoes during the study period were 31,715 individuals, and we identified 6 genera and 16 species. The predominant species was Aedes vexans nipponii (63.838%). We found that 5.2 times more mosquitoes were caught at higher emission rates of CO 2. Finally, our study partly revealed that higher emission of CO 2 might be a reliable substitute for proper control of the adult female mosquitoes and we absolutely need to develop a more efficient mosquito trap for cowshed areas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
