Study participants (> 18 years old males, sleeping in the tent on their own property for two consecutive nights) were informed about the purpose of the study in the local language (Shangana or Portuguese) using a written script that contained information on the study objectives, study risks and benefits, highlighting their right to withdraw from the study at any time during the study. Participants were enrolled when written informed consent was provided and received a small financial compensation.
