Research progress of BG-trap in mosquito density monitoring
Vector density surveillance is the basis of mosquito-borne infectious disease control.Efficient mosquito surveillance tools are of great significance for assessing environmental mosquito density,and evaluation of risk transmission of mosquito-borne infectious diseases.As one of the latest mosquito monitoring tools,BG-trap has proved to be simple,highly efficient.The existing research towards BG-trap mainly includes:optimization of attractants,such as optimizing simulated human odor attractants,carbon dioxide and its production pathways,biological baits,etc;applicability of BG-trap;application of BG-trap in mosquito control.This paper has interpreted and elaborated these research results of BG-trap,aiming to provide references for the control of mosquito-borne diseases,risk assessment,and clues to improve BG-trap and to develop other mosquito monitoring tools.
