The best position for Centers for Disease Control (Atlanta, GA) light traps, in relation to human-occupied bed nets for trapping of host-seeking Anopheles gambiae Giles and Culex quinquefasciatus Say mosquitoes, was determined in Tanzania. Significantly higher catches were recorded for both species when the trap was positioned at the foot end of the bed, near the top of the net. Parity rates were significantly higher near the top of the net than at the level of the host. Since trap position affects the catch size and the proportion of infectious mosquitoes therein, standardized use of this sampling technique for estimating entomologic inoculation rates (i.e., the number of potentially infectious bites received over a certain period of time) is recommended.
在坦桑尼亚确定了疾病控制中心（佐治亚州亚特兰大）的诱蚊灯相对于人类使用的蚊帐的最佳位置，用于捕捉寻找宿主的冈比亚按蚊和致倦库蚊。当诱蚊灯放置在床尾、靠近蚊帐顶部时，两种蚊子的捕获量都显著更高。蚊帐顶部附近的 parity 率显著高于宿主所在高度。由于诱蚊灯位置会影响捕获量以及其中感染性蚊子的比例，因此建议标准化使用这种采样技术来估计昆虫接种率（即一段时间内可能感染性叮咬的数量）。 （注：原文中“Parity rates”直接保留英文未翻译，可能是特定医学术语未明确中文对应，需根据实际专业背景确定准确中文表述）
