Attractive targeted sugar bait phase III trials in Kenya, Mali, and Zambia [PDF]
Trials, 2022 Background Long-lasting insecticidal nets (LLINs) and indoor residual spraying (IRS) target night-time indoor biting mosquitoes and effectively reduce malaria transmission in rural settings across Africa, but additional vector control tools are needed to

Exploring the epidemiological impact of attractive targeted sugar bait against malaria in combination with standard malaria control [PDF]
Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-Borne DiseasesAttractive targeted sugar bait (ATSB) is a potential new vector control tool that exploits the sugar-feeding behaviour of mosquitoes. Little is known about the factors which drive ATSB efficacy, either as a standalone vector control tool or in ...

Bioassays for the evaluation of the attractiveness of attractive targeted sugar bait (ATSB) against Anopheles mosquitoes in controlled semi-field systems [PDF]
Parasites & VectorsBackground Sugar feeding is an essential aspect of mosquito biology that may be exploited for mosquito control by adding insecticides to sugar attractants, so-called ‘attractive targeted sugar baits’ (ATSBs).

Efficacy of attractive targeted sugar bait stations against malaria in Western Province Zambia: epidemiological findings from a two-arm cluster randomized phase III trial [PDF]
Malaria JournalBackground Attractive targeted sugar bait (ATSB) stations containing bait (to attract) and ingestion toxicant (to kill) sugar-foraging mosquitoes are hypothesized to reduce malaria transmission by shortening the lifespan of Anopheles vectors.
