We conducted a randomized\u2010controlled study using experimental huts in rural Gambia, to determine whether installing a ceiling or closing the eaves could protect people from malaria mosquitoes. Five treatments were tested against a control hut: plywood ceiling; synthetic\u2010netting ceiling; insecticide\u2010treated synthetic\u2010netting ceiling (deltamethrin 12.5\u2003mg\/m<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>); plastic insect\u2010screen ceiling; or the eaves closed with mud. The acceptability of such interventions was investigated by discussions with local communities. House entry by<jats:italic>Anopheles gambiae<\/jats:italic>, the principal African malaria vector, was reduced by the presence of a ceiling: plywood (59% reduction), synthetic\u2010netting (79%), insecticide\u2010treated synthetic\u2010netting (78%), plastic insect\u2010screen (80%,<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.001 in all cases) and closed eaves (37%, ns). Similar reductions were also seen with<jats:italic>Mansonia<\/jats:italic>spp., vectors of lymphatic filariasis and numerous arboviruses. Netting and insect\u2010screen ceilings probably work as decoy traps attracting mosquitoes into the roof space, but not the room. Ceilings are likely to be well accepted and may be of greatest benefit in areas of low to moderate transmission and when used in combination with other malaria control strategies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-3156.2003.01059.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2003,6,4]],"date-time":"2003-06-04T13:02:59Z","timestamp":1054731779000},"page":"512-517","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":175,"title":["Changes in house design reduce exposure to malaria mosquitoes"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"S.
