Do Colour and Surface Area of Ovitrap Influence the Oviposition Behaviour of Aedes aegypti, the Vector of Dengue and DHF. Journal of Communicable Diseases. 2008 Dec; 40(4): 285-287.http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/148303A newly developed ovitrap made from a fiberglass tray (FGTO) was compared with conventionally used black jar ovitrap (BJO) in field condition in terms of number of eggs received. The number of eggs laid in FGTO was consistently higher than in BJO. The number of eggs collected in FGTO was significantly higher and it was 5-94 times more than that of BJO (t =9.45; p <0.0001). This finding has implication in designing lethal ovitraps for the control of dengue vectors.enOvitrap – Aedes aegyptiDengue surveillanceArticle
