Experimental set-up of semi-field and laboratory sticky-net trials. A. The set-up used in semi-field trials showing the bed and sticky-net (with 30 sq cm grid marking) in situ inside the canvas tent. B. Diagram of the grid scheme on the top surface of the standard rectangular used in laboratory sticky-net trials, and the position of the human bait beneath. Grid squares were 15 sq cm, except row 0 which were 7.5 × 15 cm. Positions of the head/feet were reversed in each of two repeat trials for each volunteer. Mosquitoes were released at positions A or B, and the release container was located either on the floor or at the ceiling. C. Diagram of the grid numbering scheme on the side surfaces of the pitched net in relation to the human bait within. Grid squares were 15 sq cm, except row 0 which were 7.5 × 15 cm. D. The pitched sticky-net in the climate controlled room with a human bait inside.
