Declartions
:
: The Ifakara Institute Review Board (IHI-IRB) and the National Institute for Medical Research-Tanzania (NIMR), with approval numbers IHI/IRB/No: 024-2016 and NIMR/HQ/R.8a/Vol.IX/2381, consecutively approved this study. The volunteers were recruited to perform either HLC or MET after the risk and benefit of participation were explained a written informed consent had been obtained. Also, volunteers consented for their photographs to appear in the manuscript. These experiments used mosquitoes that have been kept in the laboratory for over 5 years; this reduced the chance that they might transmits arboviruses to the volunteers. Female mosquitoes were fed on cow blood through membrane feeding, which further reduced the possibility of harboring viruses.
