Abstract
Studies were conducted in Brisbane, Australia to test the efficacy of encephalitis virus surveillance (EVS) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC) mosquito light traps. Additionally the relative attractiveness o f different combinations of light, carbon dioxide (dry ice) and 1-octe n-3-ol (octenol) was assessed. The CDC light trap consistently collect ed more mosquitoes than the comparably baited EVS trap. Octenol, suppl emented with dry ice, significantly increased collections of Aedes vig ilax, Aedes procax and Culex annulirostris but not Aedes notoscriptus.
