Mosquito control via inbuilt net hoisting windows: the inverted S/O channel/grip device option
Background. In many tr opical countries, malaria remains a major health pr oblem. Effective control of in -house mosquitoes, due to entry prevention, takes advantage of the behavioural preferences of endophagy and endophily of mosquitoes. Insecticide-treated nets (ITN) adopt this, but is burdened with challenges, which result in dwindling adoption of ...
