A total of 114 participants (34.9%) were seropositive for the chikungunya virus. Among people who spent most of their daytime hours inside the community they lived in, 10.3% were seropositive for chikungunya virus in communities with AGO traps whereas 48.7% were positive for chikungunya virus in communities without traps. Among all participants, including those who did not spend as much daylight time within the community, 26.1% were seropositive for chikungunya virus in the intervention communities and 43.8% were positive in communities without traps.

"AGO traps are a novel chemical-free, effective approach to control Ae. aegypti populations and provide protection from infection with the pathogens that these mosquitoes transmit. Further evaluations should determine if AGO traps are sustainable and effective in larger-scale community trials," said one of the researchers of the study.
