Comparison of DEET and binary VUAI mixtures in small tube repellency and knockdown bioassays. Concentration–response curves show modest concentration‐dependent repellency in response to DEET in wild‐type An. coluzzii female mosquitoes compared with DEET at 10 min (A) and 30 min (B). Wild‐type An. coluzzii females demonstrate similar measures of knockdown in response to DEET and VUAIs at 10 min (C), 30 min (D), and 60 min (E) at lower concentrations, but commercially relevant concentrations induced high KD percentages at 60 min. Symbols are the mean ± standard error of the mean (absent error bars are within the size of the symbol). The dashed horizontal line indicates the 50% repellency/KD level.
