Table 1 Median number of female Anopheles arabiensis mosquitoes recaptured per night by Mosclean trap and other candidate traps inside the semi-field chambers in tests to compare trapping efficacies of the Mosclean trap, CDC-light trap, human landing catches (HLC), BG-Sentinel trap and Suna trap. Table also shows interquartile ranges (IQR) and relative rates (RR)
