The Egress of Anopheles Gambiae and Mansonia Uniformis from Experimental Huts with Corrugated-Iron Roofs

Sampling Adults by Animal Bait Catches and by Animal-Baited Traps

“…In marked contrast 90% of Mansonia uniformis left each night, of which 69% left via the eaves and 31 % through the windows. In huts with iron roofs the exodus of Anopheles gambiae increased to 63% and most escaped through the eaves, but there was no significant increase in the percentage of Mansonia uniformis that left (Smith et al, 1967). Although Smith fitted the verandah cages to specially constructed huts, normal village huts can sometimes be adapted for fitting these, or simpler, verandah cages.…”
