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.
