In 2016, modified CO₂‐baited encephalitis virus surveillance (EVS) traps were evaluated for flavivirus surveillance in the Northern Territory, Australia. The traps were fitted with honey‐soaked nucleic acid preservation cards (FTA^TM) for mosquitoes to expectorate virus while feeding on the cards. Cards were tested for the presence of selected arboviruses, with two cards testing positive for Kunjin virus and Alfuy, while sentinel chickens tested in parallel also showed Kunjin virus activity at the same time. The results from the cards and vector mosquito feeding rates indicate that CO₂‐baited EVS traps coupled with honey‐baited FTA^TM cards are an effective tool for broad‐scale arbovirus surveillance.

在澳大利亚北领地使用改良的以CO2诱饵的脑炎病毒监视陷阱中使用FTATM卡进行虫媒病毒监视。

2016年，在澳大利亚北领地对改良的CO ₂诱饵性脑炎病毒监测（EVS）陷阱进行了黄病毒监测评估。诱捕器装有用蜂蜜浸泡的核酸保存卡（FTA ^TM），用于蚊子吸食卡上的病毒时将其吐出病毒。测试卡中是否存在选定的虫媒病毒，其中两张卡的Kunjin病毒和Alfuy呈阳性，而平行测试的前哨鸡也同时显示Kunjin病毒的活性。卡的结果和媒介蚊子的摄食率表明，CO ₂诱饵的EVS捕集阱与蜜诱的FTA ^TM卡结合在一起是有效的大规模虫媒病毒监测工具。
