The recently developed host decoy trap (HDT) combines visual, thermal, and olfactory stimuli associated with human hosts and has shown great efficacy in terms of collecting malaria vectors. Synthetic odors and yeast-produced carbon dioxide (CO2) could prove useful by mimicking the human odors currently used in HDTs and provide standardized and easy-to-use olfactory attractants. The objective of this study was to test the attractiveness of various olfactory attractant cues in HDTs to capture malaria vectors. We compared 4 different odor treatments in outdoor field settings in southern Benin and western Burkina Faso: the standard HDT using a human, HDT with yeast-produced CO2, HDT with an artificial odor blend, and HDT with yeast-produced CO2 plus artificial odor blend. In both experimental sites, the standard HDT that incorporated a real human produced the greatest catch of Anopheles gambiae s.l (Diptera: Culicidae). The alternatives tested were still effective at collecting target vector species, although the most effective included CO2, either alone (Benin) or in combination with synthetic odor (Burkina Faso). The trap using synthetic human odor alone caught the fewest An. gambiae s.l. compared to the other baited traps. Both Anopheles coluzzii and Anopheles gambiae were caught by each trap, with a predominance of An. coluzzii. Synthetic baits could, therefore, represent a more standardized and easier-to-deploy approach than using real human odor baits for a robust vector monitoring strategy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jme\/tjae010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,21]],"date-time":"2024-02-21T17:26:34Z","timestamp":1708536394000},"page":"808-814","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Using artificial odors to optimize attractiveness of host decoy traps to malaria vectors"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"61","author":[{"given":"Romaric","family":"Akoton","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Fondation Pour la Recherche Scientifique (FORS) , Cotonou , Benin"},{"name":"Tropical Infectious Diseases Research Centre (TIDRC), University of Abomey-Calavi , Cotonou , Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9414-4659","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Simon P","family":"Sawadogo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departement de Biologie Medicale et Sante Publique, Institut de Recherche en Sciences de la Sant\u00e9 (IRSS) , Bobo-Dioulasso , Burkina Faso"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Tossou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The AgroEcoHealth Platform, International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) , Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Achille S","family":"Nikiema","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departement de Biologie Medicale et Sante Publique, Institut de Recherche en Sciences de la Sant\u00e9 (IRSS) , Bobo-Dioulasso , Burkina Faso"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Genevieve","family":"Tchigossou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The AgroEcoHealth Platform, International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) , Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pierre M","family":"Sovegnon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tropical Infectious Diseases Research Centre (TIDRC), University of Abomey-Calavi , Cotonou , Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Luc","family":"Djogbenou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tropical Infectious Diseases Research Centre (TIDRC), University of Abomey-Calavi , Cotonou , Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2539-8057","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francis","family":"Zeukeng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Sciences, Department of Biochemistry, University of Yaounde I , Yaounde , Cameroon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frances M","family":"Hawkes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agriculture, Health & Environment, Natural Resources Institute (NRI), University of Greenwich at Medway , Kent , UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rock K","family":"Dabire","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departement de Biologie Medicale et Sante Publique, Institut de Recherche en Sciences de la Sant\u00e9 (IRSS) , Bobo-Dioulasso , Burkina Faso"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rousseau","family":"Djouaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The AgroEcoHealth Platform, International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) , Benin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriella","family":"Gibson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Agriculture, Health & Environment, Natural Resources Institute (NRI), University of Greenwich at Medway , Kent , UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024050823560338700_CIT0001","first-page":"533","article-title":"Host Decoy Trap (HDT) with cattle odour is highly effective for collection of exophagic malaria vectors","volume-title":"Parasit Vectors","author":"Abong\u2019o","year":"2018"},{"key":"2024050823560338700_CIT0002","first-page":"89","article-title":"Considerations for the use of human participants in vector biology research: a tool for investigators and regulators","volume-title":"Vector Borne Zoonotic Dis.
