Sampling comments: there were "Two tree lines (~2.5 km apart)... The first tree line was divided into 2 blocks, while the second tree line was divided into 4 blocks... In each plot, 2 weeks before and 8 weeks after treatment, mosquito populations were monitored, totaling 10 sampling weeks (7-VII-7-IX-2005)... populations were monitored weekly with Centers for Disease Control (CDC) miniature light traps... at ground level (1.5 m)" and traps were baited with CO2
