Table 1.
Detransformed mean daily catches of G. tachinoides, G. palpalis gambiensis, and G. morsitans submorsitans with unbaited and POCA-baited trapping devices made of different blue fabrics.
Figure 1.
Daily catch rates of G. tachinoides (top), G. palpalis gambiensis (middle) and G. morsitans submorsitans (bottom) by traps and a target.
The target and the cloth portions of traps were covered with adhesive film to compare the propensity of flies to land on these different devices. Catch rates of such traps were separated into fly catches on the cloth part and those trapped in the cage of the trap. Biconical and monoconical traps not treated with the adhesive film were included as controls. The limits of the boxes indicate the twenty-fifth and seventy-fifth percentiles; the solid line in the box is the median; the capped bars indicate the tenth and the ninetieth percentiles, and data points outside these limits are plotted as circles.
