Abstract
Adults of haematophagous Diptera, especially mosquitoes, are usually caught by using human or animal baits or in light or carbon dioxide traps. No single trapping technique will attract all species present in an area. For example, certain species are not attracted to light and very few ornithophagic species will be caught at human bait. But even when several species are caught by the same method it is most unlikely that they will be equally attracted, consequently their populations will not be equally sampled. This, however, is not always a serious limitation. In many virus isolation studies, for example, it does not matter whether mosquito vectors are sampled with the same efficiency, so long as sufficiently large numbers are caught. Sometimes, however, especially in ecological investigations, more representative samples of mosquito populations are needed. Because of the virtual impossibility of finding an attractant trap that will sample equally all species, it is best to use non-attractant traps. A disadvantage of these, however, is that because they catch mosquitoes only in their immediate area the numbers obtained are small unless mosquito populations are large.
