Bioassays for the evaluation of the attractiveness of attractive targeted sugar bait (ATSB) against Anopheles mosquitoes in controlled semi-field systems
Data from these experiments support using ASBs v1.2.1, deployed in large-scale epidemiological trials, as it is the most attractive and shows the highest feeding success of the Westham prototypes tested. The findings indicate that future bioassays to evaluate ATSBs should use mosquitoes of both sexes, aged 3-5 days, include multiple species in the same cage or chamber, and utilize both non-choice and choice tests with a standard comparator.
