Fredros O Okumu, Emmanuel Titus, Edgar Mbeyela, Gerry F Killeen, Sarah J Moore Malaria Journal 2009, 8:150 (7 July 2009)

This article presents the results of experiments describing a new system to evaluate repellents in the absence of humans.

Evaluation of two counterflow traps for testing behaviour-mediating compounds for the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae s.s. under semi-field conditions in Tanzania

Wolfgang H Schmied, Willem Takken, Gerry F Killeen, Bart GJ Knols, Renate C Smallegange Malaria Journal 2008, 7:230 (3 November 2008)

The paper describes traps with a high potential as an effective sampling tool for Anopheles gambiae in the field. This is timely because the best tool we have at the moment, the human bait catch, could be retired soon because of ethical considerations.
