The mosquito electrocuting trap as an exposure-free method for measuring human-biting rates by Aedes mosquito vectors

Abstract Background Entomological monitoring of Aedes vectors has largely relied on surveillance of larvae, pupae and non-host-seeking adults, which have been poorly correlated with human disease incidence. Exposure to mosquito-borne diseases can be more directly estimated using human landing catche...
