We developed a new mosquito entry/exit trap that is economical, easily transported and assembled. Traps consisted of glue-painted green plastic netting held in place by plywood frames. Traps caught >95% of mosquitoes in laboratory testing using Culex pipiens and Anopheles gambiae. In field trials in Mali, traps were highly effective at trapping entering and exiting An. gambiae s.l. Mosquitoes are trapped live and can be used for further biochemical, molecular or viral analyses.
