• Potential benefits, limitations and target product-profiles of odor-baited mosquito traps for malaria control in Africa

  Traps baited with synthetic human odors have been proposed as suitable technologies for controlling malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases. We investigated the potential benefits of such traps for preventing malaria transmission in Africa and the essential characteristics that they should possess so as to be effective.
