Attractiveness to Anopheles coluzzii mosquitoes of skin odour samples of eight parasite-free participants to whom AL was administered. Skin odour samples were collected at three time points relative to AL-adminstration, i.e. before, during and after. Each sample was tested against a synthetic odour bait (Mb5) in a dual-port olfactometer. Each sample was tested five times with 20–30 mosquitoes on five different days for a total of 110 mosquitoes per samples. Numbers of mosquitoes attracted to skin odour samples and Mb5-control are summed over these five times. In all cases, mosquitoes significantly preferred skin odour to Mb5 control (Binomial tests, P < 0.001). See Additional file 2 for data
