摘要

Commercially available 'smart' trap technology has not yet been widely used to evaluate interventions against mosquitoes despite potential benefits. These benefits include the ability to capture data continuously at fine temporal scales without the human resources usually required for conventional trap deployment. Here, we used a commercially available smart trap (BG-Counter, Biogents) to assess the efficacy of an insecticide barrier treatment (BiFlex AquaMax) in reducing mosquito nuisance in a logistically challenging coastal environment in Queensland, Australia. Adoption of smart trap technology permitted us to conduct a uniquely detailed assessment of barrier treatments, ultimately allowing us to demonstrate significant reductions in mosquito collections from treated properties over all temporal scales. On average, daily mosquito collections from treated properties were reduced by 74.6% for the duration of the post-treatment period (56 d). This observation was supported by similar reductions (73.3%) in mosquito collections across all hours of the day. It was further found that underlying mosquito population dynamics were comparable across all study sites as evidenced by the high congruence in daily collection patterns among traps (Pearson r= 0.64). Despite limitations related to trap costs and replication, the results demonstrate that smart traps offer new precision tools for the assessment of barrier treatments and other mosquito control interventions.
