Abstract：Objective To learn the mosquito trapping efficacy of ultraviolet lamp,CO2 trap,labor hour method and black box method.Methods Ultraviolet lamp,CO2 trap,labor hour method and black box method were used to catch mosquitoes.Results Totally,4 402 mosquitoes were caught,belonging to 5 species of 4 genera.1 846 mosquitoes belonging to 4 species of 3 genera were caught with ultraviolet lamps,occupying 41.94％ of all mosquitoes;1 311 mosquitoes belonging to 4 species of 3 genera with CO2 traps,occupying 29.78％ of all mosquitoes;809 mosquitoes belonging to 5 species of 4 genera with labor hour method,occupying 18.38％ of all mosquitoes;and 436 mosquitoes belonging to 2 species of 1 genus with black box method,occupying 9.9％ of all mosquitoes.Conclusion Using labor hour method can catch more species of mosquitoes,which holds the advantage of specimen preparation and species collection,while takes more time and energy.Ultraviolet lamps displayed good capture efficacy with convenience.CO2 traps could trap mosquito effectively,however,they cost much.The efficacy of black box method was the least.
