“…Here, no dose-response effect was detected with sachet dispensers releasing octenol at about 10% of the rate of the commercial lure. Both these rates are very much lower than the 40 mg/h dispensed by a 'vial plus wick' dispenser (French & Kline, 1989;Nilssen, 1998). The sachet dispenser releases about six times as much octenol as an ox (0.02 mg/h) (Torr et al, 1995).…”

Cow urine and the two phenols responsible for the attraction of biting flies to cow urine (4-methylphenol, 3-n-propylphenol) were compared with octenol (1-octen-3-ol) as baits for Tabanidae. Relative to an unbaited Nzi trap, catches of the horseflies Hybomitra lasiophthalma (Macquart), Tabanus similis Macquart and Tabanus quinquevittatus Wiedemann (Diptera: Tabanidae) were increased by 1.5-2.6, 1.4-2.0 and 1.4-1.9 times, respectively, whenever a bait included octenol released at either 0.13 mg/h or 1.5 mg/h, regardless of the presence of phenols or urine. Catches were not affected when traps were baited with phenols alone at evaporation rates of 0.38 mg/h (4-methylphenol) and 0.022 mg/h (3-n-propylphenol). Catches of Hybomitra horseflies were increased by 1.5-1.9 times with cow urine and 2.6 times with cow urine + octenol. This bait combination could prove to be particularly useful for Hybomitra horseflies, the common tabanids of northern environments.

“…There are, however, several differences in efficacy among groups and species (Gibson & Torr, 1999; IAEA, 2003). Some recent results for the efficacy of octenol are a 1.8‐fold increase for Tabanus nigrovittatus Macquart in box traps with octenol at 3 mg/h (Hayes et al , 1993), a 4.2‐fold increase for Haematopota pluvialis L. in canopy traps at a low, unmeasured rate (Kristensen & Sommer, 2000), a 9.2‐fold increase for Hybomitra lundbecki Lynenborg in Malaise traps at 40 mg/h (Nilssen, 1998), and a 7.7‐fold increase for tabanids in canopy traps at a high, unmeasured rate (Krčmar et al , 2005). Here, octenol at 1–1.5 mg/h increased the catch of several species up to 2.1 times in traps in Africa and North America, and up to 3.6 times on sticky enclosures surrounding traps in Canada.…”

“…Similar practical systems for other biting flies have yet to emerge, despite the improved catches of tabanids and stable flies that can be achieved with the use of the novel baits derived from research on tsetse ( French & Kline, 1989;Holloway & Phelps, 1991;Phelps & Holloway, 1992 ). Since Gibson & Torr (1999) , researchers have continued to test novel attractants for their efficacy for biting flies ( Hayes et al , 1993;Djiteye et al , 1998;Nilssen, 1998;Cilek, 1999;Mohamed-Ahmed & Mihok, 1999;Kristensen & Sommer, 2000 ; International Atomic Energy Agency [ IAEA], 2003;Birkett et al , 2004;Kr č mar et al , 2005Kr č mar et al , , 2006. Baits such as 1-octen-3-ol (octenol), acetone, 4-methylphenol, 3-npropylphenol and aged urine from bovines are just a few examples of materials that have potential for attracting biting flies (IAEA, 2003 ).…”

Octenol (1-octen-3-ol), acetone, 4-methylphenol, 3-n-propylphenol, and other potential attractants (human urine, stable fly faeces), as well as guiacol, creosol (potential repellents), were tested as baits for biting flies in North America using standard phthalogen blue IF3GM cotton Nzi traps, or similar commercial polyester traps. Baits were tested during the summers of 2001-04 at a residence in Canada and during January-August 2001 at a dairy in the U.S.A. Behaviour in the presence of octenol was also studied by intercepting flies approaching a trap through the use of transparent adhesive film. Analogous bait and/or trap comparisons were conducted in natural settings in June 1996 in Kenya and in September-December 1997 in Ethiopia. In Canada, catches of five of six common tabanids (Tabanus similis Macquart, Tabanus quinquevittatus Wiedemann, Hybomitra lasiophthalma [Macquart], Chrysops univittatus Macquart, Chrysops aberrans Philip) and the stable fly Stomoxys calcitrans L. were increased significantly by 1.2-2.1 times with octenol (1.5 mg/h). Catches of T. quinquevittatus and S. calcitrans were 3.5-3.6 times higher on a sticky enclosure surrounding a trap baited with octenol. No other baits or bait combinations had an effect on trap catches in North America. In Ethiopia, standard Nzi traps baited with a combination of acetone, octenol and cattle urine caught 1.8-9.9 times as many Stomoxys as similarly baited epsilon, pyramidal, NG2G, S3, biconical and canopy traps, in order of decreasing catch. When baits were compared, catches in Nzi traps of six stable fly species, including S. calcitrans, were not affected by octenol (released at approximately 1 mg/h), or cattle urine (140 mg/h), used alone or in combination with acetone (890 mg/h). Acetone alone, however, significantly increased the catches of common Stomoxys such as Stomoxys niger niger Macquart, Stomoxys taeniatus Bigot, and S. calcitrans by 2.4, 1.6 and 1.9 times, respectively. Catches of Glossina pallidipes Austen were increased significantly in traps baited with acetone, urine or octenol, or any combination, relative to those in unbaited traps (1.4-3.6x). Catches of Glossina morsitans submorsitans Newstead were increased significantly by 1.5-1.7 times, but only when baits were used individually. Unlike other studies with East African tsetse, catches of both tsetse species with the complete bait combination (acetone, urine and octenol) did not differ from those in unbaited traps. Experiments with an incomplete ring of electric nets surrounding a Nzi trap, and a new approach using a sticky enclosure made from transparent adhesive film, revealed diverse responses to artificial objects and baits among biting flies. In Kenya, daily trap efficiency estimates for traps baited with either carbon dioxide (6 L/min) or a combination of acetone, cattle urine and octenol were 21-27% for G. pallidipes, 7-36% for Glossina longipennis Corti, 27-33% for S. n. niger, and 19-33% for Stomoxys niger bilineatus Grünberg, assuming 100% electrocution efficiency.

“…In insects, it functions as a signaling molecule (semiochemical), especially in mediating host location cues for flies, mosquitoes, and mites where it orients biting flies and other blood-sucking arthropods to their hosts (Luntz 2001). Along with CO 2 it is the compound that attracts malaria mosquitoes and can be used as a bait in mosquito traps (Nilssen 1998). In addition to its flavor and arthropod signaling properties, 1-octen-3-ol has been used as an indicator of fungal spoilage in stored grains (Tuma et al 1989; Schnürer et al 1999); functions as a self-inhibitor of spore germination in Penicillium paneum (Chitarra et al 2005); delays the formation of fruiting bodies in Agaricus bisporus (Noble et al 2009); and inhibits the radial growth of microfungi from several genera (Okull et al 2003; Chitarra et al 2004).…”

“Mushroom alcohol,” or 1-octen-3-ol, is a common fungal volatile organic compound (VOC) that has been studied for its flavor properties, its effects on fungal spore germination, mushroom development, and as a signaling agent for insects. Far less is known about its effects on plants. We exposed Arabidopsis thaliana seeds, under conditions conducive to germination, to high (10 and 100 mg/1) and low concentrations (1, 2, and 3 mg/1) of racemic, S, and R forms of 1-octen-3-ol for 3 days. In addition, 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-week-old A. thaliana plants also were exposed to 1 mg/1 of the compounds for the same period of time. Seedling formation was retarded with all tested levels of exposure to 1-octen-3-ol for both enantiomers and the racemer, while 95% of unexposed control seeds germinated to seedling within 3 days. There was a dose-dependent response in the reduction of seedling formation between 1 mg/1 and 3 mg/1 of exposure. When exposed seeds were removed from the VOC, nearly all resumed germination. Young plants exposed to 1 mg/1 of the R and S enantiomers of 1-octen-3-ol exhibited a mild inhibition of growth and chlorophyll production at 2 and 3 weeks but not at 4 weeks.
