Abstract

Ochlerotatus japonicus adults have proven difficult to collect in significant numbers in the USA. Standard trapping and collection methods have been ineffective. Infusion-baited gravid traps, typically intended to attract Culex spp., have provided the greatest number and most consistent supply of Oc. japonicus adults collected in New Jersey.
