Evaluation of textile substrates for dispensing synthetic attractants for malaria mosquitoes

Abstract Background The full-scale impact of odour-baited technology on the surveillance, sampling and control of vectors of infectious diseases is partly limited by the lack of methods for the efficient and sustainable dispensing of attractants. In this study we investigated whether locally-availab...
