Table 4 Model outputs for experiments aiming to investigate the performance of 2-butanone and CO2 in Suna traps (a) and to evaluate the Suna trap in presence of a human blood host (b)

From: Evaluating putative repellent ‘push’ and attractive ‘pull’ components for manipulating the odour orientation of host-seeking malaria vectors in the peri-domestic space
