There are no teensy cups. But a urine test for wild mosquitoes has for the first time proved it can give an early warning that local pests are spreading diseases.<\/p>\n

Mosquito traps remodeled with a pee-collecting card picked up telltale genetic traces of West Nile<\/a> and two other worrisome viruses circulating in the wild, researchers in Australia report April 4 in the Journal of Medical Entomology. <\/p>\n

The tests were based on an innovative saliva monitoring system unveiled in 2010: traps that lure mosquitoes into tasting honey-coated cards. Among its advantages, this card-based medical testing doesnt need the constant refrigeration that checking whole mosquitoes does. And its not as labor intensive as monitoring sentinel chickens or pigs for signs of infection.<\/p>\n

But testing traces of mosquito saliva left on these cards comes close to the limits of current molecular methods for detecting viruses. In part, its an issue of volume. A mosquito drools fewer than five nanoliters of saliva when it tastes a card. In comparison, mosquitoes excrete about 1.5 microliters of liquid per pee, offering a veritable flood of material. So Dagmar Meyer of James Cook University in Cairns, Australia and her colleagues created urine collectors using standard overnight light traps and longer-standing traps that exhale delicious carbon dioxide, a mosquito come-hither. <\/p>\n

The team set out 29 urine traps in two insect-rich Read More \u2013 Source<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
