Enhancing Attraction of African Malaria Vectors to a Synthetic Odor Blend
(SpringerLink, 2016-06-27)
The deployment of odor-baited tools for sampling and controlling malaria vectors is limited by a lack of potent synthetic mosquito attractants. A synthetic mixture of chemical compounds referred to as “the Mbita blend” ...
Field Evaluation of a Push-Pull System to Reduce Malaria Transmission
(Plos One, 2015-04-29)
Malaria continues to place a disease burden on millions of people throughout the tropics, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. Although efforts to control mosquito populations and reduce human-vector contact, such as long-lasting ...
Understanding the Long-Lasting Attraction of Malaria Mosquitoes to Odor Baits
(Plos One, 2015-02-23)
The use of odor baits for surveillance and control of malaria mosquitoes requires robust dispensing tools. In this study, the residual activity of a synthetic mosquito attractant blend dispensed from nylon or low density ...
Evaluation of Textile Substrates for Dispensing Synthetic Attractants for Malaria Mosquitoes
(BMC- Parasites & Vectors, 2014-08-16)
The full-scale impact of odour-baited technology on the surveillance, sampling and control of vectors of infectious diseases is partly limited by the lack of methods for the efficient and sustainable dispensing of attractants. ...
