Procedure from a recent peer-reviewed implementation

Steps below were extracted from the most recent peer-reviewed implementation of this protocol in the corpus — Review of Vesicular Stomatitis in the United States with Focus on 2019 and 2020 Outbreaks (2021), Pathogens. Implementations in other papers (listed below) may differ.

1. Conduct vector surveillance
   Deploy CDC light traps with ethylene glycol preservatives at cattle farms, conducted overnight trapping between dusk and dawn approximately 10 hours, attempted weekly but limited by weather conditions
   Quantities: 18 trap deployments at two locations (FHSU and Hargrave) over 15 successful collection datesDuration: Approximately 10 hours overnight per deployment, weekly from June 18 to November 5, 2020Conditions: Overnight trapping between dusk and dawn, weather permitting
   Equipment: CDC light traps, ethylene glycol preservatives

Typical Equipment
