The Possible Critical Points Of Control

1. Eggs
2. Larva
3. Pupae
4. Fertilized female
Different Methods Of Mosquito Collection.
 Adult mosquito
1. Human Landing Catch (HLC)/ bareleg capture
- method for measuring human exposure to mosquito bites.
- All mosquitoes that landed on the bare legs were caught using 50 × 19 mm
glass vials which were subsequently plugged with cotton wool. During
collections, all catchers were equipped with moderate intensity torch lights to
ensure that only mosquitoes were caught
2. CDC Light trap
- the use of CO2 or dry ice as attractant is applied
- Mosquitoes attracted to short wavelength of light spectrum call blacklight
(UV)
 Eggs, Larva and Pupae
1. Ovitrap
- An ovitrap is a device which consists of a dark container containing water and
a substrate where mosquitoes can lay their eggs.
- Ovitraps or oviposition traps collect the eggs laid by the mosquitoes which
develop into larva, pupa and adult mosquitoes.
