Why was the BG-lure used, not the BG-MB5 that is developed to catch malaria mosquitoes?

Dear authors, Thanks for this interesting and important study. I wonder why the BG-lure was used instead of the BG-MB5 blend. The BG-lure seems more effective for Aedes mosquitoes where the BG-MB5 was developed for use on Anopheles mosquitoes. Please note that Homan et al. 2016 did not use the BG-lure, but the MB5 blend. Totally agree with the suggestion that trap efficacy can be further improved by adding a heat source as in Cribellier et al., 2020. Kind regards, Jeroen Spitzen
