INTRODUCTION
Entomological field techniques are generally used in vector-borne diseases.
Vector borne diseases are Malaria, JE,Filariasis,Dengue , Kala-azar etc.
Based on local conditions prevalent; optimum combination of these techniques should be used.
Entomological investigations are important and essential aspect of vector control.
These investigations provide information on vector species , their distribution, density, bionomics and susceptibility/resistance to insecticides for vector control.
![Page 4: Entomological field techniques for mosquito and sandfly](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554a8512b4c90573288b5647/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
These investigations are also useful for the monitoring of potential vectors and their role in disease transmission.
Information collected from entomological surveillance techniques helps in understanding the spatial and temporal changes in vector species, efficacy and effectiveness of vector control measures.

METHODOLOGY For BG-Sentinel trap.
BG- Sentinel trap is generally used for the collection of Aedes type of mosquito.
![Page 8: Entomological field techniques for mosquito and sandfly](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554a8512b4c90573288b5647/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
First of all the trap is held in upright position by three stands in three sides.
Then the electric plug is connected. Then mosquito attracting chemical is placed
in the pocket inside the trap. Then the white colored net is covered from
the top. After that a black colored collection box
along with two successive nets are inserted through the white colored net.
After complete assemblage it is connected with electric source, generally of 12 volt.

WORKING MECHANISM OF BG SENTINEL TRAP
Aedes mosqutio are attracted by the chemical which is placed inside the trap.
The odor of chemical is like the smell of socks which is worn for several days.
Then aedes mosquito gets attached in the black colored collection box .
After attachment the mosquito gets inside the collection box due to the negative pressure created by the fan operating inside the trap.
Then mosquito gets collected inside the net.

For CDC Miniature Light Trap
![Page 12: Entomological field techniques for mosquito and sandfly](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554a8512b4c90573288b5647/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Developed by CDC for portable collection of mosquitoes and sand flies.
Standard survey tool for mosquito collections.
Operates on 6 volts.
![Page 13: Entomological field techniques for mosquito and sandfly](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554a8512b4c90573288b5647/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
WORKING MECHANISM
After completely assembling the equipment it is connected with the electric source of 6 volt.
The main mechanism for collection of mosquito is attraction due the light emitted by the bulb of this instrument.
This attraction is called Phototrophism.

ANIMAL BAITED NET TRAP
![Page 15: Entomological field techniques for mosquito and sandfly](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554a8512b4c90573288b5647/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
In animal baited technique a net of 5 x 5 x 5 m is taken.
From the ground about 1 feet of space is left for the entry of mosquito in the net.
The net is made such that the mosquito entering the net do not comes out.
![Page 16: Entomological field techniques for mosquito and sandfly](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554a8512b4c90573288b5647/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Mouth Aspirator
![Page 17: Entomological field techniques for mosquito and sandfly](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554a8512b4c90573288b5647/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
From mouth aspirator resting mosquito is collected.
This aspirator is kept near the resting mosquito and is sucked .
After collecting in the aspirator, mosquito is kept in the paper cup covered with net.

Ovi trap
![Page 20: Entomological field techniques for mosquito and sandfly](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554a8512b4c90573288b5647/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
For ovi trap, about 10-15 ml of clean water is taken in a black colored paper cup and in the edge of that cup a sky blue cloth is kept. After few days eggs of mosquito are seen in the cloth.

WINDOW TRAP COLLECTION (EXIT TRAPS)
![Page 22: Entomological field techniques for mosquito and sandfly](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062702/554a8512b4c90573288b5647/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Window trap collection is done for those mosquitoes which bites indoor and goes outside for the rest.

HUMAN LANDING CATCHES
In this type of collection technique , humans are directed to keep up their pants or trousers up to the knee and the shirt up to their shoulder. Mosquito is allowed to bite to human . immediately at the instant the biting mosquito is sucked through the mouth aspirator .
Since biting of mosquito may spread the disease if it is carrying organism responsible for disease , so nowadays it is not used.

Sticky paper is placed on the land when sand fly jumps over it , it gets stick on the paper.
STICKY TRAP: SANDFLY
