Experimental huts have played a long and illustrious role in the study of mosquito vectors of disease. Here we present a design of a novel, cheap, 12 sided, experimental hut based on the African roundhouse. The panels covering each side can open and act as a door and above each panel there is a shutter that can also open. This allows for a great combination of possible openings for the study of entry and exit behaviour of mosquitoes. Preliminary results describing the exit behaviour of when four of the panels were open are described.

实验小屋在疾病蚊媒研究中发挥了长期且卓越的作用。在此，我们展示一种基于非洲圆形房屋设计的新型、廉价、十二面的实验小屋。覆盖每一面的面板可以打开并充当一扇门，并且在每个面板上方有一个也可以打开的百叶窗。这为研究蚊子的进出行为提供了多种可能的开口组合。文中描述了四个面板打开时蚊子的出口行为的初步结果。
