OPERATIONAL NOTE A SIMPLIFIED TRIPOD SUPPORT FOR USE WITH CARBON DIOXIDE- BAITED VECTOR SURVEILLANCE TRAPS

A vector surveillance trap support was designed as a tripod of polyvinyl chloride pipes to suspend carbon dioxide-baited traps. This system offers several advantages, including increased ease of transport and trap placement at varied sampling sites, particularly in adverse environments not conducive to previous methods of support. Presentation of the simple design and manufacture of the tripod support is provided.
