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).

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

Evaluation of MAGNet, a long-lasting insecticidal mosquito net against Anopheles fluviatilis in experimental huts in India [PDF]

Malaria Journal, 2019
Background MAGNet LN is a wash resistant long-lasting insecticidal (polyethylene) net (LLIN) in which the alpha-cypermethrin insecticide is incorporated within the 150 denier high density polyethylene monofilaments of the nets. The bio-efficacy of MAGNet

First evaluation of bendiocarb in experimental huts using different substrates in Madagascar. [PDF]

Malar J, 2016
Indoor residual spraying with insecticide is recommended for malaria control in high-transmission settings. Determination of residual activity of insecticides is essential for the selection of appropriate indoor spraying policy. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the residual effect of bendiocarb, a carbamate insecticide used in Madagascar ...

Efficacy of the Insecticide Formulation SumiShield® 50WG for Malaria Vector Control in Experimental Huts in Madagascar. [PDF]

Am J Trop Med Hyg
ABSTRACT. Indoor residual insecticide spraying and the distribution of insecticide-treated nets have undoubtedly led to a significant reduction in the global malaria burden. However, insecticide resistance poses a threat to the effectiveness of these recommended control methods.

Influence of Location and Distance of Biogents Sentinel™ Traps From Human-Occupied Experimental Huts On Aedes aegypti Recapture and Entry Into Huts [PDF]

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association, 2018
ABSTRACT A mark–release–recapture study was conducted to refine the “push–pull” strategy for controlling the dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus vector Aedes aegypti in a peridomestic environment by determining optimal locations and distances from human-occupied experimental huts for placement of the “pull” component (Biogents Sentinel™ [BGS ...
