“…Mosquitoes were collected (1) in modified stable traps (Kay and Bulfin, 1977) set singly, baited with calf or sheep, or in pairs baited with pig, dog, fowls, man, kangaroo or calf as part of a host preference study (Kay, Boreham and Williams, 1979), (2) from human bait (Dyce, Standfast and Kay, 1972) outdoors for 45-60 min after sunset, except at Charleville during winter from 30 min before to 30 min after sunset (3), at Kowanyama using battery-powered aspirators and insecticidal fog generators to collect adults resting diurnally (Kay, 1978) and (4) in truck traps (Dyce et al, 1972) …”

Summary At Kowanyama, 104,006 adult female mosquitoes of a probable 47 species were collected on twelve occasions from April, 1972, to April, 1976. At Charleville, 71,791 adult females of 20 taxa were taken during thirteen periods from February, 1974, to February, 1976. Culex annulirostris was predominant at Kowanyama and especially at Charleville where it comprised up to 99% of dry season collections. Culex fatigans, Ae normanensis, An annulipes and, at Kowanyama only, An bancroftii were the other major species collected. Several bait trapping methods were suitable for monitoring densities of Cx annulirostris and other species but mammalian baits were best. Because Cx annulirostris activity continued throughout winter even at Charleville, continuous cycles of arbovirus transmission are possible, although the potential of dormant Aedes eggs also bears investigation as a method of arbovirus survival.

“…Mosquitoes were collected from man or animal bait by mechanical aspirators, or by truck traps (Dyce, Standfast and Kay, 1972), drum traps baited with chickens (Standfast and Barrow, 1968) or modified stable traps (Kay and Bulfin, 1976), and identified and pooled alive on an entomological chill table (Sudia, Chamberlain and Collier, 1965). Mosquito pools were transported to Brisbane over liquid nitrogen and stored at -60°.…”

Summary Field studies during an epidemic of Murray Valley encephalitis (MVE) led to the isolation of MVE virus from a pool of mosquitoes (Culex annulirostris) and a sentinel chicken from Charleville, south‐west Queensland. A high proportion of domestic fowls at Charleville had antibody to MVE virus at the beginning of February 1974, in advance of the first case recognized in Queensland and allowing early warning from health authorities. A survey of antibody in domestic fowls in mid‐1974 suggested widespread activity of MVE virus in western and east‐central. Queensland. Virus isolation and serological studies showed activity in south‐west Queensland of three other viruses known to infect man, Ross River, Sindbis and Kunjin viruses.
