Understanding the long-lasting attraction of malaria mosquitoes to odor baits.
(University of Nairobi, 2015)
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 ...
Development and optimization of the Suna trap as a tool for mosquito monitoring and control
(University of Nairobi, 2014)
Background: Monitoring of malaria vector populations provides information about disease transmission risk, as well
as measures of the effectiveness of vector control. The Suna trap is introduced and evaluated with regard ...
Enhancing attraction of African malaria vectors to a synthetic Odor blend.
(University of Nairobi, 2016)
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" ...
A novel synthetic odorant blend for trapping of malaria and other African mosquito species
(2012)
Estimating the biting fraction of mosquitoes is of critical importance for risk assessment of malaria transmission. Here, we present a novel odor-based tool that has been rigorously assessed in semi-field assays and ...
