Comparison of Alternative Mosquito Trapping Methods to the Standard HLC

Findings from a comparison of alternative mosquito trapping methods to the standard Human Landing Catch (HLC) method. The dataset is a 5.5 KB Excel file authored by Irene Kyomuhangi and last updated in May 2026. It likely contains quantitative results evaluating the efficacy of different trapping techniques.

Use Cases

• Evaluate the relative efficacy of alternative trapping methods based on the comparison described.
• Benchmark new trapping techniques against the standard HLC method.
• Inform the selection of surveillance tools for mosquito-borne disease control programs.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• File size is small (5.5 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
