Fig. 6

Numbers of Phlebotomus orientalis captured on sticky traps placed at different heights and spatial orientations. The three scattered diagrams compare numbers of P. orientalis captured on the following sticky trap setups. a Horizontal traps placed on 15 cm height stools vs horizontal traps placed on the ground. b Vertical traps placed on the ground vs horizontal traps placed on the ground. c Horizontal traps placed on the stools vs vertical traps placed on the ground. Note that in a and b, all points fell above the 45° diagonal line, showing that in every replicate the horizontal ground traps captured higher P. orientalis than the horizontal stool traps and the vertical traps. In contrast in c, the 45° reference line straddled most data points, indicating similar numbers of P. orientalis on the vertical traps and the horizontal stool traps
