Popis:	During 1976/77 four field trips, each of one month's duration, were made to the Ord Valley to collect mosquitoes in the continuing study of arbovirus ecology. Results indicate that Culex annulirostris Skuse continued to dominate the mosquito fauna of the area, whilst Coquillettidia xanthogasler (Edwards), Mansonia uniformis (Theobald) and Anopheles bancroftii Giles appear to be increasing in numbers following stabilisation of the lake margins and prolific growth of aquatic plant species. Limited trials suggested that new double-chambered aluminium traps, particularly when used with sharply indexed entrance funnels, were superior to the chicken-baited traps used previously. Further trials with three different bait animals indicated that rabbits attracted more mosquitoes than chickens and that both of these caught more than guinea-pigs. When chickens and rabbits were combined in the same traps they attracted significantly more mosquitoes per trap than when used separately.
