Mortality and blood feeding rates of Anopheles gambiae "Ladji" release-recapture in experimental huts (3 replicates)
| An. gambiae | Control | ITN | ITN + PPWI 1/3 | ITN + PPWI total |
| Females caught | 206 | 227 | 193 | 202 |
| Females dead | 6 | 92 | 155 | 202 |
| Mortality (%) | 2.9a [0.6-5.2] |
40.5b [34.1-46.9] |
80.3c [74.7-85.9] |
100d |
| Corrected mortality (%) | 38.9a | 79.7b | 100c | |
| Females blood fed | 87 | 6 | 15 | 0 |
| Blood feeding rate (%) | 42.2a [35.5-49.0] |
2.6b [0.6-4.7] |
7.8c [4.0-11.6] |
0b |
| Blood feeding inhibition (%) | - | 93.74 | 81.60 | 100 |
Note: ITN = insecticide-treated net (deltamethrin at 25 mg/m2); PPWI 1/3 = top third of the walls covered with woven polypropylene treated with bendiocarb at 200 mg/m2; PPWI total = walls completely covered with woven polypropylene treated with bendiocarb at 200 mg/m2. Values in the same row sharing the same superscript letter do not differ significantly (p > 0.05).
