Improving the efficiency of the BG sentinel 2 trap to assess the activity of Aedes (Stegomyia) aegypti [Linnaeus, 1762] in Senegal.

The use of efficient mosquito sampling methods in vector surveillance programs is crucial to inform control actions and prevent outbreaks. amongst existing trapping methods, the BG sentinel trap is widely used for collecting mosquitoes from the subgenus Stegomyia. However, studies state that the BG-sentinel trap underestimates the relative abundance of mosquito vectors.
