Development of a Simple Trap That Captures Ticks (Acari) on Their Dorsal Surface

JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 59(3), 969–975.

By: M. Yans*, A. Branca, N. Hahn, S. Crawley n, A. Figurskey n, K. Hobson*, M. Banfield, J. Borden *

author keywords: tick; Acari; Amblyomma americanum; trapping; surveillance
MeSH headings : Animals; Carbon Dioxide; Dry Ice; Ixodidae / physiology; Nymph; Ticks
topics (OpenAlex): Viral Infections and Vectors; Vector-borne infectious diseases; Vector-Borne Animal Diseases
TL;DR: Two versions of a trap that captures climbing ticks on their dorsum that achieved high catches of lone star ticks, Amblyomma americanum (L.) and significantly higher yields of ticks than on dry ice baited 1 m2 white sheets are tested. (via Semantic Scholar)

2022 article

Effectiveness of autocidal gravid trapping and chemical control in altering abundance and age structure of Aedes albopictus

Figurskey, A. C., Hollingsworth, B., Doyle, M. S., & Reiskind, M. H. (2022, April 29). PEST MANAGEMENT SCIENCE, Vol. 4.

By: A. Figurskey n, B. Hollingsworth *, M. Doyle* & M. Reiskind n 

author keywords: Aedes albopictus; autocidal gravid ovitraps; mosquito control; barrier spraying; residential ecosystems; integrated pest management
MeSH headings : Aedes; Animals; Female; Larva; Mosquito Control / methods; North Carolina
topics (OpenAlex): Mosquito-borne diseases and control; Malaria Research and Control; Dengue and Mosquito Control Research
TL;DR: Delayed population aging in AGO‐treated yards suggests that traps also could mitigate disease transmission risk, and future studies should test these control methods at the neighborhood level to evaluate large‐scale effectiveness as well as assess the effect of autocidal ovitraps without chemical intervention.
