From: Nextgen Vector Surveillance Tools: sensitive, specific, cost-effective and epidemiologically relevant

  1. aSurveillance tools included oral aspirator (including manual aspirators); battery aspirators (CDC backpack aspirators, bazooka aspirators and Prokopack aspirators); Pyrethrum spray catches (pyrethrum spray and knockdown spray catches using a variety of natural and synthetic insecticides); artificial resting shelters (including clay pot and resting boxes; barrier traps included barrier screens and Malaise traps; pit traps included any iteration of a pit trap); window exit trap included a variety of window exit trap designs
  2. bCalculated from a total number of informants of 40
  3. cThe frequency that each surveillance tool measured each entomological indicator was calculated using the total number of informants that used each tool as the denominator. Frequent use (green circle) was defined as more than 50% of informants used the tool to measure the specific indicator; infrequent use (yellow circle) was less than 50% of informants with red circles indicating the tool was not used to measure an indicator
  4. dIndoors includes both inside houses and animal shelters
