Description
David Campos Andrade and co-authors built a cheap trap for young mosquitoes in this 2025 study from Brazil. The target group, called Sabethines, breeds in wild forest habitats and is hard to collect. Some of its members can carry yellow fever. Their trap is simple: a coconut shell with holes, filled with water and set in the forest.
The traps caught four kinds of mosquitoes, and young ones were raised so the adults could be named. Two of the kinds had never been recorded in the state of Sergipe before. The authors offer the trap as a low-cost tool for tracking forest mosquitoes.
