Efficacy of a volatile pyrethroid spatial emanator (SE) in reducing Anopheles host-seeking in outdoor kitchens in Southern Zambia
The SE device provided protection to individuals within protected kitchen structures overnight and during most hours of the night. The number of mosquitoes was lowest during the early collection hours between 18:00-21:00, a period in which the SE devices did not significantly impact mosquito host-seeking behavior. This result has implications for this use-case and should be further explored.
