Effect of AL-administration on screenhouse catches of Anopheles gambiae s.s. on skin odour samples. For each of four participants, skin odour samples obtained at three time points relative to AL-administration (before, during, after) were tested for attractiveness against clean nylon socks (control) in MM-X traps. CO2 was added to each trap. Samples from the same participant were tested in direct competition against each other, and experiments were repeated on six different nights per participant with 200 females per night. Numbers in bars indicate the total number of mosquitoes caught per odour treatment. Odour treatment had a significant effect on the proportion mosquitoes trapped (GLM, Ptreatment < 0.001). Different lower case letters above bars indicate pairwise significant differences (GLM, LSD, P < 0.05). Position of the trap within screenhouse had a significant effect and the nested term was included in the final model (GLM Pscreenhouse(position) < 0.001). Estimated means with standard errors from the GLM are shown. See Additional file 2 for data
