Modified mosquito landing box. a The lateral panels from the mosquito landing box (MLB) previously described in Matowo et al. [13] were removed to allow a better dispersion of the repellent. A solar battery (arrowhead) provides the energy to power the fan that draws the air emanated by the strips. b A deflecting dish (asterisk) is attached to the underside top cover to disperse the air driven by the fan. c The dispensing unit consists of a PVC pipe (arrowhead) with a fan on the top of it. The polyester strips are hanging from a cable wire within the dispensing tube (arrow).
