Response of Phlebotomine Sand Flies to Light Emitting Diode-Modified Light Traps in Southern Egypt LCDR David Hoel NAMRU-3 Cairo, Egypt Response of Phlebotomine Sand Flies to LED-Modified Light Traps in Southern Egypt Goals: Determine if a preference exists in Phlebotomine sand flies among different colored light produced from light emitting diodes (LEDs) and incandescent light in modified and standard CDC light traps. Test prototype LED-modified CDC light trap for ruggedness/reliability in a desert environment. U0009_04_N3 - Sand fly Trap Evaluations to Determine the Best Surveillance System for Anthropophilic Sand Flies. Why research traps? Goals of trapping… Develop highly effective light traps that will increase trap capture and provide more detailed, accurate surveillance in an area. Provide environmentally-friendly control of nuisance or vector insects through removal trapping, thus reducing the impact of broadcast insecticide applications on the environment (e.g., thermal fog, ULV). Trap efficacy may be greatly increased with use of optimal colors, colored light, trap design, and chemical attractants (Nzi trap and tsetse flies, Mihok 2002, Green 1994; commercial mosquito traps and salt marsh mosquitoes, Xue et al. 2005). Delay development of insecticide resistance. Materials Methods- Traps Materials Methods- Traps Schematic Materials Methods- Traps Four 240 Ω, 1/8 W resistors prevented overdriving the circuit. LEDs are easily replaced as needed. Materials Methods- Traps LEDs Sold by Digi-Key Corporation (Thief River Falls, MN). Color, part number, wavelength and millicandela (mcd) chosen for testing were: blue (P466-ND, 470 nm, 650 mcd) green (67-1755-ND, 502 nm, 1,500 mcd) red (67-1611-ND, 660 nm, 1,800 mcd) LEDs are 8.6 mm in length by 5.0 mm in diameter with rounded lens and viewing angles of 30o. Materials Methods- Traps LED Advantages… Shock resistant Greatly extended operational life of LED vs. lamp Cooler operating tempe
