Fantastic presentation by Dr Frances Hawkes showcasing a novel alternative to human landing catches for sandfly and blackfly collections- the host decoy trap. Obvious benefits as reduces risk to participants of bites and infection.
Amazing results for blackfly sampling 🪰 #Gnatwork21

To end this session we now have Dr Frances Hawkes presenting on behalf of her team on the use of host decoy traps to collect sandflies and blackflies as an alternative to traditional surveillance methods.

More information on the project can be found here: gnatwork.ac.uk/test-a-novel-t…

Impressive cross-border collaboration in the face of COVID disruption made this project a success. Large numbers of Culicoides successfully collected and identified with a preliminary key already up on The Gnatwork website: gnatwork.ac.uk/morphological-…
#Gnatwork21

Next we have Dr Marion England The Pirbright Institute presenting work on behalf of her team including Priscilla Opare and Dr Godwin Kwakye-Nuako on the validation of CO2 baited CDC traps against human landing catches for #Culicoides and #sandflies #Gnatwork21
