Experimental hut trials
A real night, real mosquitoes, a real hut
At the M'bé station, huts built like local homes host volunteer sleepers. Wild mosquitoes enter freely. Every morning they are collected, counted and scored to measure the product's effect.
What we measure
- Mortality and deterrence
- Blood-feeding inhibition
- Early exit into veranda traps
Methods
- Latin square trials
- Comparison with a reference product
- Multi-site trials
