“…Research efforts have been made in this direction, mainly from the perspective of genetic modifications in the vector, development of traps capable of suppressing winged forms 52,60,61,62,63 , and the incorporation of new pedagogical practices favoring population behavior changes in relation to reduction in the availability of Ae. aegypti breeding sites.…”

“…Ovitraps baited with grass infusions are more sensitive than larval surveys 4,5,7,8 , but their use is indicated more for periods of low vector population density. The method also requires laboratory personnel and only allows quantifying the number of eggs deposited, thus hindering estimation of the vector population density in a given area 4 .…”

“…Studies in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais demonstrated that MosquiTRAP is capable of detecting and monitoring female Ae. aegypti even during the dry season, when larval surveys do not detect the presence of larvae 8 . When compared to other methods for capturing adult mosquitoes, like the CDC backpack aspirator (Model 1412, John W. Hock Company, Gainesville, USA) 12 , the latter captured significantly fewer gravid females than the MosquiTRAP, whereas the Nasci captured a similar number 9 .…”

“…® is a black opaque container of approximately one liter, 24 cm deep and 14 cm of diameter (Eiras 2002, Favaro et al 2006, Gama et al 2006. Inside the trap were placed: (a) a sticky card (38 x 19 cm) on which the pregnant A. aegypti females are captured after touching the internal surface of the trap (b) a protection screen (12 cm of diameter) which avoids the oviposition of the mosquito females directly on the water, (c) a synthetic oviposition attractant ( 00'W).…”

-Differences among results gathered from insect behavior studies conducted in laboratory and fi eld situations are due to ambient variables that differ greatly between both environments. In laboratory studies the environmental conditions can be controlled whereas in fi eld temperature, humidity and air velocity vary uncontrollably. The objective of this study was to calibrate and evaluate an experimental area (fi eld cage) (14 x 7 x 3.5 m) subdivided into eight test cages (2.5 x 2.5 x 2 m) for use in behavioral oviposition tests of Aedes aegypti (L.) mosquitoes for developing a new methodology to assess attractants and oviposition traps. Test cage calibration involved: (1) minimal experiment duration tests; (2) optimal female release number per traps test and (3) trap placement tests. All tests used gravid A. aegypti females; 3-4 days post blood meal and the sticky trap MosquiTRAP ® to catch adults. Ninety percent of the females released were recaptured 2h after the beginning of the experiment, and this allowed up to 32 test repetitions/day to be conducted in the fi eld cage. The minimum number of females necessary to conduct statistical analyses was 20 females/trap/test per cage. No signifi cant difference was found in the behavioral response of gravid females to four different trap positions within test cages. Field trapping results with attractant were similar to those in the fi eld cage. Therefore, the fi eld cage could replace fi eld trapping for evaluating at least mosquito traps and oviposition attractants for A. aegypti.KEY WORDS: Oviposition behavior, attractant, semi-fi eld, MosquiTRAP RESUMO -Discrepâncias entre resultados de estudos de comportamento de insetos em laboratório e em campo ocorrem devido a variáveis encontradas entre os ambientes. Enquanto em laboratório as condições são controladas, em campo os insetos são avaliados em condições variáveis de temperatura, umidade e velocidade do ar. O objetivo deste trabalho foi calibrar e avaliar uma área experimental (14 x 7 x 3,5 m) contendo oito gaiolas de teste (2,5 x 2,5 x 2 m), para estudos comportamentais de oviposição para Aedes aegypti (L.) visando desenvolver uma nova metodologia para avaliar atraentes e armadilhas de oviposição em semi-campo. A calibração consistiu na (1) determinação do tempo de realização dos experimentos e no (2) número de fêmeas liberadas por teste e na (3) avaliação das posições das armadilhas no interior das gaiolas de teste. Fêmeas de A. aegypti de 3-4 dias após repasto sangüíneo e MosquiTRAP ® foram utilizadas nos experimentos. Noventa por cento das fêmeas liberadas foram recapturadas após 2h do início dos experimentos, permitindo a realização de até 32 repetições/dia. A amostra mínima de fêmeas por experimento para a realização de análises estatísticas foi limitada a 20 fêmeas/armadilha/gaiola. Não foi observada diferença na resposta comportamental das fêmeas nas diferentes posições avaliadas. Resultados com MosquiTRAP em área urbana foram semelhantes aos do semi-campo. Portanto, a metodologia pode substitui...
