Attracting and killing outdoor-biting malaria vectors using odour-baited mosquito landing boxes (MLB) equipped with low-cost electrocuting grids

This research report has been submitted to the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand , in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the award of the Masters of Science in Medicine (Biology and Control of African Disease Vectors)degree. May 2015 / Background: Ongoing residual malaria transmission is increasingly mediated by outdoor-biting mosquito populations, especially in communities where insecticidal interventions like indoor residual insecticides (IRS) and long-lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs), are used. Often, the vectors are also physiologically resistant to the insecticides, making this a major against malaria elimination.
