Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This utility model relates to vector-borne disease monitoring, and more particularly to a mosquito sampling device. [Background Technology]

[0002] Mosquitoes are among the most important medical vectors, with over 3,500 known species worldwide. my country has approximately 400 species belonging to 21 genera, of which more than 10 pose significant threats to humans, transmitting diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever, West Nile fever, Zika virus disease, chikungunya, and Japanese encephalitis. To comprehensively understand the composition, density, distribution, seasonal fluctuations, and control strategies of mosquito species, and to provide a scientific basis for risk assessment, forecasting, early warning, and control planning for mosquito-borne infectious diseases such as dengue fever and Zika virus disease, the National Health Commission and the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention require disease control departments at all levels nationwide to conduct mosquito density monitoring and collect mosquito specimens for morphological identification, drug resistance testing, and pathogen detection. Therefore, certain requirements are set for mosquito specimen collection: high mosquito attraction efficiency, low proportion of other insects, intact morphology, and good activity levels, to facilitate subsequent morphological observation, pathogen isolation, and nucleic acid extraction. Thus, professionals typically collect mosquitoes through trapping to achieve these objectives.

[0003] A mosquito collector, patent number CN201120084463.2, includes a main body, a controller, and a battery. Its key features include: a cover at the top of the main body; an upward-opening annular air inlet on the main body below the cover; a light guide plate as the air duct wall of the annular air inlet; an inner recessed hole at the bottom of the light guide plate containing a light-emitting diode; a fan inside the annular air inlet at the center of the top of the main body; a mosquito-catching net connected to the lower part of the fan; and a horizontally opening annular air outlet at the bottom of the main body. The advantages of this invention are: self-powered, suitable for outdoor placement without human supervision, automatic mosquito trapping, attracting mosquitoes from a distance and efficiently capturing them completely in the net, facilitating mosquito species identification by health and epidemic prevention departments, and contributing to disease control.

[0004] This invention features a carbon dioxide gas source and a chemical bait container inside the machine body.
