Pictorial illustration of the semi-field chambers and the mosquito tunnel. The semi-field chambers were used to evaluate the different configuration of push-and-pull subunits (a). The 110 m long mosquito tunnel was used to evaluate the optimal distances between the eave-ribbons wrapped along the eave-space of the hut (blue structure inside the chamber) and the odour-baited BG-Malaria trap (b). A section of the empty tunnel is also shown (c). Adult male volunteers sat in the peri-domestic space of each of the huts and collected mosquitoes attempting to bite them between 1800 and 2200 h, before going indoors to sleep under intact bed nets. CDC-light traps were used to catch mosquitoes attempting to bite the sleeper between 2200 and 0630 h the next morning
