Eave and swarm collections prove effective for biased captures of male Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes in Uganda

Abstract Background Traditional malaria vector sampling techniques bias collections towards female mosquitoes. Comprehensive understanding of vector dynamics requires balanced vector sampling of both males and females. Male mosquito sampling is also necessary for population size estimations by male-...
