Evaluation of a protocol for remote identification of mosquito vector species reveals BG-Sentinel trap as an efficient tool for Anopheles gambiae outdoor collection in Burkina Faso

Estimated means and confidence intervals of mosquito females/trap/night of An. coluzzii, An. gambiae s.s. and An. arabiensis collected by the two sampling methods baited with BG-lure + CO₂ calculated by GLMM. BG = BG-Sentinel trap; CDC = CDC light trap; IN = indoor sampling; OUT = outdoor sampling; * significant difference; *** highly significant difference.
