a, Integrated MPL/CL3 facility. Architectural design plans for the (left) and a detailed view of the integrated laboratory and insectary container unit (right) are shown. The laboratory comprises a lobby, an incubator room for mosquito husbandry, a molecular biology laboratory and a dedicated space for P. falciparum DMFAs and housing of infected mosquitoes. The second container unit houses systems that regulate and maintain optimal environmental conditions, including a negative pressure system for biosecurity, water purification and waste treatment. An external electricity generator supports these operations. b, Field sites for parasitological surveys and gametocyte carrier recruitment. Locations of villages in the Pwani region where parasitological surveys were conducted in children are shown in relation to the IHI Bagamoyo campus (housing the MPL/CL3 facility), the capital Dodoma, the major port city Dar es Salaam and the town of Chalinze, where meteorological data were recorded. The map is modified to highlight sites mentioned in the paper. Tanzania road map in b adapted from OnTheWorldMap.com (https://ontheworldmap.com/tanzania/tanzania-road-map.html).
