Egg collection traps have been studied to assist in the integrated control of arbovirus vectors. Many enhancements have been made over the years. This study evaluated the use of a hydrated superabsorbent polymer (SAP) in the egg collection of Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus in ovitraps. An experi...
