Resumo: The Aedes mosquito vectors of dengue virus (DENV) - chikungunya virus (CHIKV) are attracted to specific host cues that are not generated by traditional light traps. For this reason multiple companies have designed traps to specifically target those species. Recently the st-ard trap for DENV - CHIKV vectors, the BG-Sentinel (BGS) trap, has been remodeled to be more durable - better suited for use in harsh field conditions, common during military operations, - relabeled the BG-Sentinel 2 (BGS2). This new trap was evaluated against the st-ard Centers for Disease Control - Prevention (CDC) light trap, Zumba Trap, - BG-Mosquitito Trap to determine relative effectiveness in collecting adult Aedes aegypti - Ae. albopictus. Evaluations were conducted under semifield - field conditions in suburban areas in northeastern Florida from May to August 2014. The BGS2 trap collected more DENV - CHIKV vectors than the st-ard CDC light trap, Zumba Trap, - BG-Mosquitito Trap, but attracted fewer species, while the BG-Mosquitito Trap attracted the greatest number of mosquito species.
