A comparison between a baited wooden hut with four entrance traps for mosquitoes, and a stable trap, at a village in Madras state

A portable baited wooden hut with an entrance trap in each of its 4 walls, consisting of a cone leading into a cubical cage of mosquito netting, was tried, baited with a bullock, as a mosquito trap in a village in South India. After it had weathered, it compared well with routine trapping methods. Its possibilities for the capture of mosquitoes for virus studies, and for the study of some species of mosquitoes which enter in larger numbers than by other methods, are discussed.
