A new odour-baited trap to collect host-seeking mosquitoes.
A new odour-baited entry trap which releases an air stream containing chemical cues collected from a bait, has been used successfully to collect West African mosquito species, most of them important vectors of malaria, such as Anopheles gambiae s.l. and An. funestus. 85% of the yield consisted of live, unfed and partially fed specimens. The trap has some practical and theoretical advantages over similar sampling techniques.
