Sampling indoor resting African malaria vectors is traditionally done by hand catches with oral or mechanical aspirators and pyrethrum spray catches (PSCs). In this study, we designed and briefly evaluated an inexpensive but practical alternative by using a cloth resting box or wicker resting basket and a ceiling net. Evaluations were performed in greenhouse and field situations in rural Kenya by comparing capture rates of Anopheles gambiae s.l. and Anopheles funestus (Giles) in these traps to hand collections and PSCs. A resting box and a ceiling net when used together collected more mosquitoes than a single collector using a hand-held aspirator but only one-third the number collected by PSCs. At sites where PSCs are impractical, a resting box and ceiling net can be effectively used as an alternative to hand catches in malaria surveillance.
传统上，对室内栖息的非洲疟疾媒介进行采样是通过使用口吸式或机械吸气器手工捕捉以及除虫菊酯喷雾捕捉（PSCs）来完成的。在本研究中，我们设计并简要评估了一种廉价但实用的替代方法，即使用布制栖息箱或柳条栖息篮以及顶网。通过比较这些诱捕器中冈比亚按蚊复合组和嗜人按蚊（吉尔斯）的捕获率与手工采集和PSCs的捕获率，在肯尼亚农村的温室和野外环境中进行了评估。当一个栖息箱和一个顶网一起使用时，捕获的蚊子比使用手持吸气器的单个采集者更多，但只有PSCs捕获数量的三分之一。在PSCs不实用的地点，栖息箱和顶网可以有效地用作疟疾监测中手工捕捉的替代方法。
