Host Decoy Trap, alternative technique for evaluating the effect of vector control measures on disease carrying insects such as black flies and mosquitoes, in African settings

At this proof of concept phase, We have established good performance of HDT for collection of several vectors species (Simulium, Anopheles and Culex). This trap (HDT) has show to be as performant as human landing catches (HLC) especially in areas of high biting rates
