Evaluation of Mosquito Magnet and other collection tools for Anopheles mosquito vectors of simian malaria

Abstract: Background Vector surveillance is essential in determining the geographical distribution of mosquito vectors and understanding the dynamics of malaria transmission. With the elimination of human malaria cases, knowlesi malaria cases in humans are increasing in Malaysia. This necessitates intensive vector studies using safer trapping methods which are both field efficient and able to attract the local vector populations. Thus, this study evaluated the potential of Mosquito Magnet as a collection… Show more

“…In view of this, a series of laboratory tests was conducted to validate the use of mosquitoes caught using HLC for blood meal analysis. This is mainly because HLC was able to catch a higher number of local Anopheles mosquitoes, besides Mosquito Magnet 17 . Thus, this is the first study to evaluate the use of Anopheles mosquitoes collected through HLC for blood meal analysis.…”

“…latens clade II [46] used in the study were collected from different states in Malaysia, namely Johor, Kelantan, Pahang, Selangor, Sabah, and Sarawak, where most simian malaria infections were reported [47] (Figure 1) (Table S1). Mosquitoes were collected using bare-leg capture (BLC) [48] as well as human baited trap, CDC light trap, and mosquito magnet from 18:00 to 23:30 as described in the work of [49]. The Anopheles mosquitoes were morphologically identified using the keys of Reid [50] and Sallum [18].…”
