Methodology
Eliningaya J Kweka, Aneth M Mahande Malaria Journal 2009, 8:149 (6 July 2009) A comparison of five sampling methods for the malaria vector Anopheles arabiensis in an agricultural/irrigation area of Tanzania. It provides reasonable alternatives to the human landing catch method, still considered the "gold standard" for sampling adult female malaria vectors as it most directly measures biting rate and can be used to estimate the entomological inoculation rates
