DESCRIPTION CONTENTS DOWNLOADS & INFORMATION Biogents most reknown trap for researchers, the BG-Sentinel, was initially developed to enable researchers all over the world to monitor the vectors of dengue, chikungunya, Zika, and yellow fever (Aedes [Stegomyia] aegypti, Ae. [St.] albopictus, Ae. [St.] polynesiensis) and is now considered the gold standard for monitoring these species. It is the result of more than sixteen years of academic research into the host-finding behavior of mosquitoes. During its use on different continents it became evident that the BG-Sentinel also catches other mosquito species and blood-sucking insects. This is why the trap is now used by scientists, healthcare professionals, PCOs (Pest Control Operators), and private households worldwide.With the addition of carbon dioxide (CO2), the BG-Sentinel is an excellent surveillance tool for mosquitoes in general.The BG-Sentinel:• is collapsible• light-weight and easy to transport• mimics convection currents created by a human body• employs attractive visual cues releases artificial skin emanations through a large surface area• can be used without CO2 to specifically capture selected mosquito species (e.g., Stegomyia spp and Culex quinquefasciatus). • is an excellent general mosquito trap when used with CO2. We offer now an optimized yeast kit for 24-hour CO2 production, the BG-CO2 Generator. Learn more about it >The trap is also large enough to incorporate additional attractants(for example animal hairs, worn clothing, small animals, food, light and heat sources) making it a very versatile tool for other researchers as well. Numerous independent scientific studies have been conducted with the BG-Sentinel all over the world, and it has been successfully proven in more than 300 publications > to be the most effective mosquito trap on the market.
