ABSTRACT
Abstract INTRODUCTION:
Aedes aegypti is the main vector responsible for the transmission of numerous arboviruses. Adultrap® has been developed to catch these insects.METHODS:
We tested the effectiveness of capturing adults with and without one of the components of Adultrap®.RESULTS:
The mean number of insects caught by the original trap was 1.25 (standard deviation = 1.28), while the average obtained with the modified trap was 8.88 (standard deviation = 3.44). The medians were statistically different (p = 0.001) according to the Mann-Whitney test.CONCLUSIONS:
The modification of Adultrap® increased the average catch of Ae. aegypti by up to seven times.
