Description

Rozier and co-authors test design choices for mosquito sampling in Cambodia. Two trap types ran across ten provinces from 2019 to 2021. Collections ran every 24 hours over three-day spans. The haul totaled 181,798 mosquitoes in 153 species. Models handled excess zeros and spread in the counts.

Of 54 species checked, 21 favored one trap type. Light traps caught 15 species better, and scent traps caught six better. Human-biting vectors favored the scent trap design. Catch rates fell from day one to day three for key vectors. Yearly trends held whether sampling ran one or three days.
