Fig. 2From: Effects of a new outdoor mosquito control device, the mosquito landing box, on densities and survival of the malaria vector, Anopheles arabiensis, inside controlled semi-field settingsThe odour-baited mosquito landing box. The MLB is designed to target mosquitoes, which bite humans while outdoors. It has a solar panel on top (a), which powers the fan on top of the odour-dispensing section inside (b, c). It is baited with natural or synthetic human odours, which attract malaria mosquitoes. Attracted mosquitoes are killed upon contact with chemical-treated louvres (d), or low-voltage electrocuting grids fitted on the inside sections behind the louvres and powered by the same solar panel [34]Back to article page
