Exploring the attractiveness of MB5-baited Suna traps as pull devices for trapping An. arabiensis in close vicinity of a human blood host. a The attraction of mosquitoes to human landing volunteers is explored in the presence of Suna traps that are either baited with MB5 and CO2 or with MB5 and 2-butanone or are unbaited with only the fan running. b Attraction of mosquitoes to the three different traps in the presence of the human blood host is compared. A total of 160 host-seeking mosquitoes were released in the semi-field system per experimental night. HLC was done for 4 h (19.00–23.00 h) and the traps ran overnight for 12 h
