Comparison between an alternative mosquito electrocuting grid trap (MET) and human landing catch (HLC) methods in estimating three epidemiologically relevant mosquito behaviours of both female Anopheles gambiae complex and Culex spp. as analysed using binomial logistic generalized linear mixed effect model (GLMM)
