Richard M. Oxborough, Trishan Wickramasinghe, Louisa Messenger (all Environmental and Global Health), Nikita Gopakumar (Mechanical Engineering), Michael Fong (Art), Yafet Tiruha, and Seungman Park (both Mechanical Engineering), along with other researchers from the University of Ghana Anastasia Mosquito Control (Florida) and Imperial College London published "Portable experimental hut tents (PEHTs): a conceptual framework for improved malaria vector control decision-making with a review of fixed experimental hut sites in Africa" in the journal Parasites & Vectors. The study reviewed 34 existing mosquito test-hut sites across Africa and introduced a new portable version, built from tents with 3D-printed insect entry points, that can be set up directly in communities to test bed nets and other mosquito-control tools against local mosquito populations. The article is the first output from a NIH-funded grant on vector control tool evaluation.
