2-butanone as a carbon dioxide mimic in attractant blends for the Afrotroical malaria mosquitoes anopheles gambie and anopheles funestus
(Malaria Journal, 2017-08-24)
Most odour baits designed to attract host-seeking mosquitoes contain carbon dioxide (CO2), which enhances trap catches, given its role as a mosquito fight activator. However, the use of CO2 is expensive and logistically ...
Spatially Variable Risk Factors for Malaria in a Geographically Heterogeneous Landscape, Western Kenya: An Explorative Study
(Malaria Journal, 2016-06-01)
Large reductions in malaria transmission and mortality have been achieved over the last decade, and this has mainly been attributed to the scale-up of long-lasting insecticidal bed nets and indoor residual spraying with ...
2-Butanone as a Carbon Dioxide Mimic in Attractant Blends for the Afrotropical Malaria Mosquitoes Anopheles Gambiae and Anopheles Funestus
(Malaria Journal, 2017-08-25)
Most odour baits designed to attract host-seeking mosquitoes contain carbon dioxide (CO2), which enhances trap catches, given its role as a mosquito flight activator. However, the use of CO2 is expensive and logistically ...
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 ...
Spatial Heterogeneity of Malaria Vectors and Malaria Transmission Risk Estimated Using Odour-Baited Mosquito Traps
(BMC- Malaria Journal, 2014-09-22)
Prior to the commencement of a large-scale malaria intervention study on Rusinga Island, western Kenya, intensive baseline surveillance of the mosquito population was performed using odour-baited traps. The survey aimed ...
