A modified experimental hut design for studying responses of disease-transmitting mosquitoes to indoor interventions: the Ifakara experimental huts. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Differences between individual human houses can confound results of studies aimed at evaluating indoor vector control interventions such as insecticide treated nets (ITNs) and indoor residual insecticide spraying (IRS).

Design matters: structural variation in experimental huts significantly alters entomological endpoints in insecticide treated net (ITN) evaluation –a comparative experimental hut trial using a latin square design in Tanzania and Côte d’Ivoire [PDF]

Malaria Journal
Background Experimental huts are the gold standard for the semi-field evaluation of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) but the design of the huts used varies markedly between sites. Structural differences may influence mosquito behaviour – and, consequently,

Improvement to East African style experimental huts allows for more effective evaluation of vector control products for protection against vector-borne diseases [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors
Background East African style experimental huts have been used in Tanzania since 1963 to evaluate vector control interventions such as insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying. Over time, these huts have been modified to include eave baffles

Tests of Olyset nets by bioassay and in experimental huts [PDF]

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2006
Background: Olyset nets are a type of long-lasting insecticidal net made of polyethylene fibre withpermethrin incorporated into it and with a 4 mm mesh size.Bioassays: Olyset netting was wrapped around a wire frame and the mosquitoes were released ...

Systematic Review of the Entomological Impact of Insecticide-Treated Nets Evaluated Using Experimental Hut Trials in Africa [PDF]

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-borne Diseases, 2021
Abstract Background Resistance of anopheline mosquitoes to pyrethroid insecticides is spreading rapidly across sub-Saharan Africa, diminishing the efficacy of insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) — the primary tool for preventing malaria.

Assessing the Variability in Experimental Hut Trials Evaluating Insecticide-Treated Nets Against Malaria Vectors

Current Research in Parasitology and Vector-borne Diseases, 2023
Los ensayos experimentales Hut (EHT) se utilizan para evaluar las intervenciones de control de vectores en interiores contra los vectores de la malaria en un entorno controlado. El nivel de variabilidad presente en el ensayo influirá en si un estudio determinado está bien capacitado para responder a la pregunta de investigación que se está considerando.

Efficacy of 3D screens for sustainable mosquito control: a semi-field experimental hut evaluation in northeastern Tanzania

Parasites & Vectors, 2023
Background A three-dimensional window screen (3D-Screen) has been developed to create a window double-screen trap (3D-WDST), effectively capturing and preventing the escape of mosquitoes.

Comparative efficacy of Vector Guard® to Olyset® Plus insecticide-treated nets against strongly pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles arabiensis in experimental huts in Tanzania

Frontiers in Malaria
IntroductionThe resistance of malaria vectors to pyrethroids has compromised the efficacy of pyrethroid insecticide-treated nets (ITNs). In response, ITNs with pyrethroids and piperonyl butoxide (PBO) synergists were developed to overcome metabolic ...

Field efficacy of ethnomedicinal plant smoke repellency against Anopheles arabiensis and Aedes aegypti

Heliyon, 2021
The repellency effect of smoke from burning Azadirachta indica, Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Ocimum forskolin plants to reduce human-mosquito biting activity. Ground mixed powders of the plant leaves produced smoke by direct burning and thermal expulsion
