撒哈拉以南非洲的农村房屋通常很热，允许疟疾蚊子进入。我们评估了被动或主动通风是否可以减少疟疾蚊子进入房屋并在夜间为冈比亚农村的卧室降温。使用了两个相同的实验房屋：一个通风的和一个不通风的(对照)。我们评估了(I)被动通风(太阳能烟囱)和(Ii)主动通风(吊扇)对室内采集蚊子数量和环境参数(温度、湿度、二氧化碳、蒸发量)的影响。虽然太阳能烟囱没有减少冈比亚按蚊的进入，但吊扇使进入房屋的人数比对照屋减少了91%。在这两个实验中，干预室和控制室的室内夜间温度、湿度和二氧化碳含量没有差异。通过湿度分析评估，太阳能烟囱并没有改善人体舒适度。虽然吊扇在午夜前改善了人类的舒适性，但在早上，与控制室相比，它太凉爽了，尽管这可以通过提供毯子来补救。太阳能烟囱的设计还需要进一步改进。天花板风扇室的高风速可能通过阻止蚊子飞来减少蚊子房的进入。改善房屋的通风可能会减少疟疾的传播。
Rural houses in sub-Saharan Africa are typically hot and allow malaria mosquitoes inside. We assessed whether passive or active ventilation can reduce house entry of malaria mosquitoes and cool a bedroom at night in rural Gambia. Two identical experimental houses were used: one ventilated and one unventilated (control). We evaluated the impact of (i) passive ventilation (solar chimney) and (ii) active ventilation (ceiling fan) on the number of mosquitoes collected indoors and environmental parameters (temperature, humidity, CO2, evaporation). Although the solar chimney did not reduce entry of Anopheles gambiae sensu lato, the ceiling fan reduced house entry by 91% compared with the control house. There were no differences in indoor nightly temperature, humidity or CO2 between intervention and control houses in either experiment. The solar chimney did not improve human comfort assessed using psychrometric analysis. While the ceiling fan improved human comfort pre-midnight, in the morning it was too cool compared with the control house, although this could be remedied through provision of blankets. Further improvements to the design of the solar chimney are needed. High air velocity in the ceiling fan house probably reduced mosquito house entry by preventing mosquito flight. Improved ventilation in houses may reduce malaria transmission.
