Malaria is a parasitic disease that spreads between humans through the bite of infected female anopheles mosquitoes. Edward has volunteered to be human bait for mosquitoes that are out from dusk to dawn in search of a meal. The anopheles funestus loves a human meal and the study shows it is possible to lower its density using IRS. Scientists use his samples to analyse the density, types and human-biting behaviour of the female anopheles mosquito that spreads malaria. Among the p falciparum cases, 38.16% of people were asymptomatic.
