Attracting and killing outdoor-biting malaria vectors using odour-baited mosquito landing boxes (MLB) equipped with low-cost electrocuting grids
Objectives
The project explores the use of odour-baited mosquito landing boxes equipped with low-cost electrocuting grids as a potential solution for attracting and killing malaria vectors.

Rationale and Abstract
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.
