A comparison of commercial light-emitting diode baited suction traps for surveillance of Culicoides in northern Europe

Abstract Background The response of Culicoides biting midges (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) to artificial light sources has led to the use of light-suction traps in surveillance programmes. Recent integration of light emitting diodes (LED) in traps improves flexibility in trapping through reduced power...
