In this study the phototactic response of anopheline mosquitoes to different luminous intensity light-emitting diodes (LEDs) was investigated. Centers for Disease Control-type light traps were changed by replacement of the incandescent lamps by 5â¯mm round type green (520â¯nm) and blue (470â¯nm) LEDs of different luminous intensities: green-LED traps with luminous intensities of 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000 millicandela (mcd) and the blue-LED traps with luminous intensities of 4000, 12,000 and 15,000â¯mcd. Our data showed that increasing luminous intensity has an effect on the attraction of anopheline mosquitoes to light traps, highlighting the importance of taking LEDs and light sources of high luminous intensity into account when using light-trap collections in monitoring populations of Anopheles species.
