Diagrammatic and pictorial representations of the Ifakara odour baited station (A) and the odour-baited mosquito landing box (B). Panel A of this figure was adapted from Okumu et al. [34].

A: Schematic presentation of the steps in GIS-based location modelling and analysis to determine suitable areas for locating odour-baited lure and kill stations, based on location of mosquito breeding habitats, roads, households and places with high outdoor vector densities within the village. B: Visual representation and comparison of two interpolated mosquito density maps derived from community knowledge and experience (i) and data obtained during outdoor mosquito sampling conducted in the same study area (j). The figures were adapted from Sumaye et al. [42].
Figure 4.
Figure 4.
Mathematical evaluation of effects of odour-baited mosquito traps (functioning as ‘pseudo-hosts’) on the malaria transmission. A: Illustration of what happens when mosquitoes encounter a host. B: Relationship between trap coverage (which is a function of number of traps, attractiveness of the bait used, the number and types of other vertebrate hosts including humans in the environment, and the location of the traps relative to human dwellings) and relative malaria exposure. Figures are adapted from Okumu et al. [43].
