技术领域Technical Field

本发明涉及吸引和诱捕昆虫的新组合物和方法,其使用包含多种组分的昆虫吸引系统,所述多种组分包含化学引诱物。The present invention relates to novel compositions and methods for attracting and trapping insects using an insect attraction system comprising multiple components including a chemical attractant.

背景技术Background Art

蚊子属于不利的和最有害的如吸食人类的血液的昆虫群体。为了消灭这些蚊子,人们使用了各种设备和装置,如蚊香、电子驱蚊器、电击灭蚊器等。Mosquitoes belong to the disadvantageous and most harmful insect group such as sucking human blood. In order to eliminate these mosquitoes, people use various equipment and devices, such as mosquito coils, electronic mosquito repellents, electric shock mosquito killers, etc.

蚊子会被人类和其他脊椎动物的体温以及呼吸放出的二氧化碳所吸引。人类或脊椎动物在呼吸过程中会释放CO2。蚊子可以从远处发现/嗅到CO2,并循着微量的CO2叮咬人类或脊椎动物。许多蚊子捕获装置被设计成放出CO2,以模仿人类和其他脊椎动物的类似排放。Mosquitoes are attracted to the body heat of humans and other vertebrates, as well as the carbon dioxide they emit from their breathing. Humans or vertebrates release CO2 during breathing. Mosquitoes can detect/smell CO2 from a distance and follow trace amounts of CO2 to bite humans or vertebrates. Many mosquito traps are designed to emit CO2 to mimic similar emissions from humans and other vertebrates.

丙烷一直是产生CO2的所选燃料。许多蚊子诱捕器被设计和用于产生热量、二氧化碳和水蒸气,以模仿人类的类似排放。蚊子也会被动物吸引,因为它们被动物(例如牛)产生的类似辛烯醇的气味所吸引。许多丙烷蚊子诱捕器产生并放出与人类和动物类似的气味。辛烯醇等引诱物被用来产生类似动物的气味。Propane has been the fuel of choice for producingCO2 . Many mosquito traps are designed and used to produce heat, carbon dioxide, and water vapor to mimic similar emissions from humans. Mosquitoes are also attracted to animals because they are attracted to the octenol-like odors produced by animals (such as cattle). Many propane mosquito traps produce and emit odors similar to those of humans and animals. Attractants such as octenol are used to produce animal-like odors.

鉴于人类或动物放出的气味在吸引蚊子方面的重要性,人们已经尝试使用感官引诱物来诱捕蚊子。蚊子被它们赖以生存的宿主(人类或动物)放出的化学信号所吸引。这种化学信号采取气味分子的形式,通过扩散和被携带在气流中从源头飘散出去。Given the importance of human or animal odors in attracting mosquitoes, attempts have been made to use sensory attractants to trap mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are attracted to chemical cues given off by the host (human or animal) on which they feed. This chemical cue takes the form of odor molecules that drift away from the source by diffusion and are carried in air currents.

一种化学引诱剂是二氧化碳,它是由呼吸的动物释放出来的。二氧化碳是大气中无处不在的气体,其正常的环境背景室外水平为300至400p.p.m。以宿主生物为食的昆虫有时会被宿主产生的提高的二氧化碳水平所吸引并因此围绕着宿主。One chemical attractant is carbon dioxide, which is released by respiring animals. Carbon dioxide is a ubiquitous gas in the atmosphere, with normal ambient background outdoor levels of 300 to 400 p.p.m. Insects that feed on a host organism are sometimes attracted to the elevated carbon dioxide levels produced by the host and thus surround the host.

蚊子嗅觉检测到的另一种化学引诱剂是气味分子,如L-乳酸。L-乳酸是人体汗液的挥发性组分,其浓度范围为0.5至5.0毫克/升。然而,L-乳酸作为单一刺激物存在时,只有轻微吸引力或无吸引力的效果。但当与二氧化碳一起存在时,L-乳酸作为增效剂,增加了气体的吸引力。乳酸作为引诱剂的用途在本领域是已知的,例如,Balfour的美国专利号4,907,366公开了一种使用由乳酸、二氧化碳、水和热量组成的组合物吸引蚊子的诱捕器。Another chemical attractant detected by the mosquito's sense of smell is an odor molecule such as L-lactic acid. L-lactic acid is a volatile component of human sweat, and its concentration ranges from 0.5 to 5.0 mg/L. However, when L-lactic acid is present as a single irritant, it has only a slight or no attractive effect. But when present with carbon dioxide, L-lactic acid acts as a synergist, increasing the attractiveness of the gas. The use of lactic acid as an attractant is known in the art. For example, U.S. Patent No. 4,907,366 to Balfour discloses a trap that attracts mosquitoes using a composition consisting of lactic acid, carbon dioxide, water and heat.

其他的化学引诱剂气味分子是被称为脂肪酸(特别是短链脂肪酸)的一组化学物质。脂肪酸是挥发性化合物,包括但不限于乙酸、丙酸、异丁酸、丁酸、异戊酸和戊酸等化合物,所有这些都存在于人类排泄物中。使用脂肪酸作为引诱剂在本领域是已知的,例如,Wilson的美国专利号4,818,526和Keenan的美国专利号5,258,176涉及由丙酸、正丁酸、异丁酸、正戊酸、异戊酸、异癸酸和2-苯乙醇组成的一种或多种引诱剂组合物。Other chemical attractant odor molecules are a group of chemicals known as fatty acids (particularly short-chain fatty acids). Fatty acids are volatile compounds, including but not limited to compounds such as acetic acid, propionic acid, isobutyric acid, butyric acid, isovaleric acid, and valeric acid, all of which are present in human excrement. The use of fatty acids as attractants is known in the art, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,818,526 to Wilson and U.S. Pat. No. 5,258,176 to Keenan relate to one or more attractant compositions consisting of propionic acid, n-butyric acid, isobutyric acid, n-valeric acid, isovaleric acid, isodecanic acid, and 2-phenylethanol.

另一种这样的引诱剂气味分子是1-辛烯-3-醇(辛烯醇)。辛烯醇是牛和人类呼吸和汗液中的挥发性组分。当与增加的二氧化碳水平组合时,辛烯醇对一些蚊子物种来说是有效的嗅觉引诱剂。使用二氧化碳和/或辛烯醇作为蚊子、叮咬苍蝇和蜱虫的引诱剂的用途在本领域中是已知的,例如,Nolen的美国专利号5,205,064、Dieguez的美国专利号5,382,422、Nolen的美国专利号5,799,436、Nolen的美国专利号6,055,766、Wigton的美国专利号6,145,243和Coventry的美国专利号6,199,316。Another such attractant odor molecule is 1-octen-3-ol (octenol). Octenol is a volatile component in the breath and sweat of cattle and humans. When combined with increased carbon dioxide levels, octenol is an effective olfactory attractant for some mosquito species. The use of carbon dioxide and/or octenol as an attractant for mosquitoes, biting flies and ticks is known in the art, for example, U.S. Patent No. 5,205,064 of Nolen, U.S. Patent No. 5,382,422 of Dieguez, U.S. Patent No. 5,799,436 of Nolen, U.S. Patent No. 6,055,766 of Nolen, U.S. Patent No. 6,145,243 of Wigton and U.S. Patent No. 6,199,316 of Coventry.

其他这样的引诱剂气味分子是二硫化碳和酮类。Wilson的美国专利号4,818,526公开了二甲基二硫醚和琥珀酸二丁酯及其组合作为蚊子引诱剂的使用。Bernier等人的美国专利号6,267,953公开了乳酸与二甲基二硫醚和丙酮的使用。Bernier等人的美国专利号6,800,279公开了乳酸与二硫化碳的使用,以及乳酸与丁酮、2-戊酮或丙酮的使用。Other such attractant odor molecules are carbon disulfide and ketones. U.S. Patent No. 4,818,526 to Wilson discloses the use of dimethyl disulfide and dibutyl succinate and combinations thereof as mosquito attractants. U.S. Patent No. 6,267,953 to Bernier et al. discloses the use of lactic acid with dimethyl disulfide and acetone. U.S. Patent No. 6,800,279 to Bernier et al. discloses the use of lactic acid with carbon disulfide, and the use of lactic acid with butanone, 2-pentanone or acetone.

高效的化学引诱剂与高效诱捕器的组合提供了一种有待开发的改进的控制方法。然而,从各种现有技术中可以看出,预测哪种剂量水平的哪种化合物会成为特定昆虫物种的有效引诱剂是不可能的。因此,需要一种有效的昆虫吸引系统,其包括用于吸引如蚊子等的昆虫的引诱组合物。The combination of an efficient chemical attractant with an efficient trap provides an improved control method that is yet to be developed. However, it can be seen from various prior art that it is impossible to predict which compound at which dosage level will be an effective attractant for a particular insect species. Therefore, there is a need for an effective insect attraction system, which includes an attractant composition for attracting insects such as mosquitoes.

It is not intended to be exhaustive to limit the present invention to the disclosed form. In view of the above disclosure, obvious modifications or variations are possible. The selection of the described embodiments is to best illustrate the principles of the present invention and its practical application, so that a person of ordinary skill in the art can utilize the present invention in various embodiments and make various modifications according to the specific use under consideration. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims.

为控制蚊子数量而作出的大多数努力都集中在雌性蚊子上。数种成年雌蚊是人类疾病的重要媒介。由于主要以吸血为食的取食策略和产生后代的能力,大多数对蚊子的研究自然都集中在成年雌性身上。尤其是埃及伊蚊(Aedes aegypti),由于其易于饲养、卵抗干燥、世界性分布和病媒重要性而受到了大多数的关注。这些因素汇聚在一起,使埃及伊蚊成为一种典型生物体。营养对蚊子的生理和行为有着强烈影响。糖餐可以维持雌性埃及伊蚊的能量需求,而血液餐是产卵的必要条件。然而,人们对幼虫阶段所需的特定营养物质或者糖或血液餐的特定组分对完成卵子发生过程的重要性了解甚少。Most efforts to control mosquito populations have focused on female mosquitoes. Adult female mosquitoes of several species are important vectors of human diseases. Due to their feeding strategy of feeding primarily on blood and their ability to produce offspring, most studies of mosquitoes have naturally focused on adult females. In particular, Aedes aegypti has received most of the attention due to its ease of rearing, resistance of its eggs to desiccation, cosmopolitan distribution, and importance as a disease vector. These factors have converged to make A. aegypti a model organism. Nutrition has a strong influence on mosquito physiology and behavior. A sugar meal can sustain the energy requirements of female A. aegypti, while a blood meal is necessary for egg production. However, little is known about the importance of specific nutrients required by the larval stage or specific components of the sugar or blood meal for the completion of the oogenesis process.

实验部分Experimental Section

如别处所讨论的,本发明提供了一种吸引昆虫的方法,其中该方法包括提供吸引昆虫的昆虫诱饵,其中该昆虫诱饵包括碳酸氢铵和用于增强从昆虫诱饵释放气体的诱饵释放装置,其中该气体释放装置将昆虫诱饵雾化以释放二氧化碳来吸引昆虫。As discussed elsewhere, the present invention provides a method for attracting insects, wherein the method includes providing an insect bait to attract insects, wherein the insect bait includes ammonium bicarbonate and a bait release device for enhancing the release of gas from the insect bait, wherein the gas release device atomizes the insect bait to release carbon dioxide to attract the insects.

实施例1Example 1

该系统仅由一种成分组成,即碳酸氢铵。碳酸氢铵的使用是新特征,其也赋予了系统吸引蚊子所需的特性。碳酸氢铵是一种重要的化合物,因其分解成氨、二氧化碳和水蒸气:The system consists of only one ingredient, ammonium bicarbonate. The use of ammonium bicarbonate is a new feature that also gives the system the properties needed to attract mosquitoes. Ammonium bicarbonate is an important compound because it decomposes into ammonia, carbon dioxide and water vapor:

NH4HCO3→NH3+CO2+H2ONH4 HCO3 →NH3 +CO2 +H2 O

这三种分解产物吸引蚊子。在此,CO2在吸引蚊子方面发挥了重要作用。These three decomposition products attract mosquitoes. Here,CO2 plays an important role in attracting mosquitoes.

实施例2Example 2

该系统包含两种成分:碳酸氢铵和氯化钠(电解质)。The system contains two components: ammonium bicarbonate and sodium chloride (electrolyte).

两个实施例之间的主要区别是在实施例1中使用了碳酸氢铵(食品级),而在实施例2中添加了5重量%的电解质到碳酸氢铵中。相比于与电解质一起制备的引诱剂,带有电解质的碳酸氢铵显示出更好的环境稳定性。The main difference between the two examples is that ammonium bicarbonate (food grade) was used in Example 1, while 5 wt% electrolyte was added to the ammonium bicarbonate in Example 2. The ammonium bicarbonate with electrolyte showed better environmental stability than the attractant prepared with electrolyte.

试验中使用了两个标号为#1和#2的蚊子诱捕器。待测试的引诱剂被放置在各自的诱捕器(#1为AB型引诱剂,#2为AB+型引诱剂)的引诱剂保持器上。这两个诱捕器被放置在后院(约3m x 20m)的地面上,间隔为约5-6米。每隔24小时收集一次诱捕器中捕获到的蚊子,然后进行数量统计和物种识别。在收集和更换虫盒后,每天在两个试验点之间顺时针旋转诱捕器以消除环境因素造成的影响。库蚊是被捕获的主要物种,特别地,雌性库蚊的数量超过了雄性库蚊,如表IA和IB所总结的。Two mosquito traps numbered #1 and #2 were used in the experiment. The attractants to be tested were placed on the attractant holders of the respective traps (AB type attractant for #1 and AB+ type attractant for #2). The two traps were placed on the ground in the backyard (approximately 3m x 20m) with a spacing of approximately 5-6 meters. The mosquitoes captured in the traps were collected every 24 hours and then counted and identified as species. After collecting and replacing the insect boxes, the traps were rotated clockwise between the two test points every day to eliminate the influence of environmental factors. Culex pipiens was the main species captured, especially the number of female Culex pipiens exceeded that of male Culex pipiens, as summarized in Tables IA and IB.

表IA提供了实施例1(碳酸氢铵–AB)和实施例2(碳酸氢铵+电解质(氯化钠)–AB+)在九(9)天内的雄性和雌性库蚊的蚊子捕获的对比。Table IA provides a comparison of male and female Culex pipiens mosquito captures over nine (9) days for Example 1 (ammonium bicarbonate - AB) and Example 2 (ammonium bicarbonate + electrolyte (sodium chloride) - AB+).

表IATable IA

表IB提供了使用AB和AB+样品在9天内捕获的雄性和雌性库蚊总数,细节示于表IA中。Table IB provides the total number of male and female Culex pipiens captured over 9 days using AB and AB+ samples, details of which are shown in Table IA.

表IBTable IB :

表IA和表IB中总结的观察结果表明,AB捕获了多出约30%的雌性库蚊。然而,添加电解质(氯化钠)到AB中将雌性库蚊的捕获量提高到近乎两倍,而且捕获的雄蚊与雌蚊的比率从1:1.3(雄蚊:雌蚊)提高到约1:2.5(雄蚊:雌蚊),使捕获的雄蚊与雌蚊的总比率达到1:2。该数据也以图形的形式示于图3。The observations summarized in Tables IA and IB indicate that AB captured approximately 30% more female Culex pipiens. However, the addition of electrolyte (sodium chloride) to AB increased the capture of female Culex pipiens by nearly two times, and increased the ratio of captured male to female mosquitoes from 1:1.3 (male:female) to approximately 1:2.5 (male:female), bringing the overall ratio of captured male to female mosquitoes to 1:2. This data is also shown in graphical form in FIG3.

将电解质添加到引诱剂碳酸氢铵中的一些好处包括,与仅有碳酸氢铵相比,可以捕获到更多的雌性致倦库蚊(比率为2:1)。另一个观察到的好处是,AB+是稳定的,在9天的测试中没有表现出任何形状变化,而AB在9天内分解。Some benefits of adding electrolytes to the attractant ammonium bicarbonate include the capture of more female Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus compared to ammonium bicarbonate alone (at a 2:1 ratio). Another benefit observed was that AB+ was stable and did not show any shape changes over the 9-day test, whereas AB decomposed within 9 days.

实施例3Example 3

该实施例是使用9.22克碳酸氢铵(AB)和AB+(即包括碳酸氢铵和电解质(即氯化钠)加起来总共9.22克)的蚊子捕获的对比。应注意,与样品AB相比,样品AB+显示出了更好的环境稳定性。This example is a comparison of mosquito capture using 9.22 grams of ammonium bicarbonate (AB) and AB+ (i.e., 9.22 grams total including ammonium bicarbonate and electrolyte (i.e., sodium chloride)). It should be noted that sample AB+ showed better environmental stability compared to sample AB.

试验中使用了两个标号为#1和#2的蚊子诱捕器。待测试的引诱剂被放置在各自的诱捕器(#1为AB型引诱剂,#2为AB+型引诱剂)的引诱剂保持器上。这两个诱捕器被放置在后院(约3m x 20m)的地面上,间隔为约5-6米。每隔24小时收集一次诱捕器中捕获到的蚊子,然后进行数量统计和物种识别。在收集和更换虫盒后,每天在两个试验点之间顺时针旋转诱捕器以消除环境因素造成的影响。库蚊是被捕获的主要物种,特别地,雌性库蚊的数量超过了雄性库蚊,如表IIA和IIB所总结的。Two mosquito traps numbered #1 and #2 were used in the experiment. The attractants to be tested were placed on the attractant holders of the respective traps (#1 was AB type attractant and #2 was AB+ type attractant). The two traps were placed on the ground in the backyard (about 3m x 20m) with a spacing of about 5-6 meters. The mosquitoes captured in the traps were collected every 24 hours and then counted and identified as species. After collecting and replacing the insect boxes, the traps were rotated clockwise between the two test points every day to eliminate the influence of environmental factors. Culex pipiens was the main species captured, especially the number of female Culex pipiens exceeded that of male Culex pipiens, as summarized in Tables IIA and IIB.

However, adding electrolyte (sodium chloride) to AB increased the capture of female Culex pipiens by nearly 80%. This data is also shown in graphical form in Figure 4.

将电解质添加到引诱剂碳酸氢铵中的一些好处包括,与仅有碳酸氢铵相比,可以捕获到更多的雌性致倦库蚊(比率为2:1)。另一个观察到的好处是,AB+是稳定的并且在9天的测试中没有表现出任何形状变化,而AB在9天内分解。Some benefits of adding electrolytes to the attractant ammonium bicarbonate include the capture of more female Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus compared to ammonium bicarbonate alone (ratio 2:1). Another benefit observed was that AB+ was stable and did not show any shape changes over the 9-day test, while AB decomposed within 9 days.

The samples were sealed in respective containers having an opening of approximately 5 mm on the side of the respective container. It should be noted that sample AB+ exhibited better environmental stability compared to sample AB.

试验中使用了两个标号为#1和#2的蚊子诱捕器。待测试的引诱剂被放置在各自的诱捕器(#1为AB型引诱剂,#2为AB+型引诱剂)的引诱剂保持器上。这两个诱捕器被放置在仓库的后院(约3m x 20m)的地面上,间隔为约5-6米。每隔24小时收集一次诱捕器中捕获到的蚊子,然后进行数量统计和物种识别。在收集和更换虫盒后,每天在两个试验点之间顺时针旋转诱捕器以消除环境因素造成的影响。库蚊是被捕获的主要物种,特别地,雌性库蚊的数量超过了雄性库蚊,如表IIIA和IIIB所总结的。Two mosquito traps numbered #1 and #2 were used in the experiment.

The two traps were placed on the ground in the backyard of the warehouse (about 3m x 20m) with a spacing of about 5-6 meters. The mosquitoes captured in the traps were collected every 24 hours, and then the number was counted and the species identified. After collecting and replacing the insect boxes, the traps were rotated clockwise between the two test points every day to eliminate the influence of environmental factors. Culex pipiens was the main species captured, especially the number of female Culex pipiens exceeded that of male Culex pipiens, as summarized in Tables IIIA and IIIB.

表IIIA和表IIIB中总结的观察结果表明,AB捕获了多出约15%的雌性库蚊。然而,添加电解质(氯化钠)到AB中将雌性库蚊的捕获量提高近80%。该数据也以图形的形式示于图5。The observations summarized in Tables IIIA and IIIB indicate that AB captured approximately 15% more female Culex pipiens. However, adding electrolyte (sodium chloride) to AB increased the capture of female Culex pipiens by nearly 80%. This data is also shown in graphical form in Figure 5.

一些观察结果包括碳酸氢铵加5%的电解质的引诱剂(AB+)比单纯的碳酸氢铵(AB)多捕获了80%的雌性致倦库蚊,表明对雌性致倦库蚊的吸引力显著增加。两种引诱剂的日蚊子捕获量之间统计对比较(statistic pair comparison)的P值为0.005,远低于0.5。AB+表现出良好的户外稳定性,体积收缩率较低,并且形状没有变化。用纯碳酸氢铵制备的AB引诱剂在6天的测试后出现明显的分解,在第9天完全分解。Some observations included that the attractant of ammonium bicarbonate plus 5% electrolyte (AB+) captured 80% more female Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus than ammonium bicarbonate alone (AB), indicating a significant increase in attractiveness to female Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus. The P value for the statistical pair comparison of daily mosquito catches between the two attractants was 0.005, which is well below 0.5. AB+ showed good outdoor stability with low volume shrinkage and no change in shape.

表VIIBTable VIIB

表VIIA和VIIB中的数据表明,添加电解质(氯化钠)的组合物(样品2)(捕获2774只库蚊)比不添加电解质的组合物(样品1)(捕获1926只库蚊)提高了近50%的库蚊捕获量。同样值得注意的是,与样品1(560只)相比,样品2帮助捕获了两倍数量的雌性库蚊(1009只)。同样值得注意的是,相比于伊蚊,捕获的绝大多数蚊子是库蚊(约98:2)。图8以图形所示的为使用样品1和2捕获的库蚊数量。图9以图形所示的为使用样品1和2捕获的伊蚊数量。The data in Tables VIIA and VIIB show that the composition with added electrolyte (sodium chloride) (Sample 2) (2774 Culex mosquitoes captured) increased the capture of Culex mosquitoes by nearly 50% over the composition without added electrolyte (Sample 1) (1926 Culex mosquitoes captured). It is also worth noting that Sample 2 helped capture twice as many female Culex mosquitoes (1009) as compared to Sample 1 (560). It is also worth noting that the vast majority of mosquitoes captured were Culex mosquitoes compared to Aedes mosquitoes (about 98:2). Figure 8 shows graphically the number of Culex mosquitoes captured using Samples 1 and 2. Figure 9 shows graphically the number of Aedes mosquitoes captured using Samples 1 and 2.

实施例10提供了总重量8.293g的组合物,其包含羧酸(乳酸)、非金属碱(碳酸氢铵)、电解质(氯化钠)、醇(1-辛烯-3-醇)、干燥剂(二氧化硅)和吸收材料(布)的混合物,其中布用于吸收液体(1-辛烯-3-醇)。Example 10 provides a composition with a total weight of 8.293 g, which includes a mixture of carboxylic acid (lactic acid), a non-metallic base (ammonium bicarbonate), an electrolyte (sodium chloride), an alcohol (1-octen-3-ol), a desiccant (silicon dioxide) and an absorbent material (cloth), wherein the cloth is used to absorb the liquid (1-octen-3-ol).

蚊子捕获数据表明,雌性蚊子被诱捕/捕获的比率明显高于雄性蚊子。如上所述,成年雌性蚊子是人类疾病的重要媒介。由于主要以吸血为食的取食策略和产生后代的能力,捕获/诱捕和消灭成年雌性蚊子更为重要。Mosquito capture data indicate that female mosquitoes are trapped/captured at significantly higher rates than male mosquitoes. As mentioned above, adult female mosquitoes are important vectors of human diseases. Due to their predominantly blood-feeding feeding strategy and their ability to produce offspring, capturing/trapping and eliminating adult female mosquitoes is more important.
