Fantastic presentation by @framaha showcasing a novel alternative to human landing catches for sandfly and blackfly collections- the host decoy trap. Obvious benefits as reduces risk to participants of bites and infection. Amazing results for blackfly sampling 🪰 #Gnatwork21
The Gnatwork@the_gnatwork

To end this session we now have @framaha presenting on behalf of her team on the use of host decoy traps to collect sandflies and blackflies as an alternative to traditional surveillance methods. More information on the project can be found here: gnatwork.ac.uk/test-a-novel-t…
