| comparison of carbon dioxide- and octenol-baited encephalitis virus surveillance mosquito traps at the shoal water bay training area, queensland, australia. | the use of octenol in combination with carbon dioxide (co2)-baited encephalitis virus surveillance (evs) mosquito traps was evaluated under simulated wartime operational conditions during operation tandem thrust (tt01) at the shoalwater bay training area, queensland, australia in 2001. a greater number of mosquito species were captured in traps baited with octenol plus co2 than those baited with co2 or octenol in the saltwater marsh, freshwater beach. in the inland environments of camp growl and ... | 2005 | 16506585 |
| efficacy of residual insecticide biflex aquamax applied as barrier treatments for managing mosquito populations in suburban residential properties in southeast queensland. | the pyrethroid insecticide biflex aquamax (bifenthrin) was evaluated for its ability to suppress coastal mosquito populations in a controlled suburban backyard study in mango hill, queensland, australia. the insecticide was applied to perimeter vegetation, fencing in selected backyards, or both, and mosquito populations were monitored weekly from 3 wk before to 8 wk after treatment (11 wk total) by using cdc miniature light traps and human bait landing rates. in addition, bioassays were conducte ... | 2012 | 23025182 |
