Through Resolution No. 12669 of April 2, 2020, the SIC also granted the University of Antioquia and Vectors and Health protection for the patent to trap and capture insects that transmit infectious microorganisms, such as Leishmania and Plasmodium.

This trap, designed to monitor, prevent, and control insects that transmit malaria and leishmaniasis, has a simple and resistant design that can be used in more demanding environments, isolated areas or places with scarce resources. It includes a piece that can be attached and detached from the main cylinder, which contains the engine's power batteries and the LED lights which make it possible to replace the unit's batteries, without having to dismantle the entire device.
