Control experiments for the two choice landing assay with the humanised membrane. (a) Rate of attraction of twenty female mosquitoes (Aedes aegypti) becomes constant after 4 min of exposure to untreated humanised membranes. The number of Ae. aegypti (b) and Anopheles arabiensis (c) females landing in the two-choice assay on membranes both humanised by different test subjects varies minimally. The number of Ae. aegypti females landing in the two-choice assay on membranes, one humanised by test subject A and the other by either test subject B or C, does not significantly differ between treatments (d). The number of Ae. aegypti and An. arabiensis females landing in the two-choice assay on membranes both humanised by test subject A (e). The rate of landing on membranes humanised by test subject A remains constant from 4 min to 14 min after both species of mosquitoes have been exposed to the membranes (f).
