N refers to the number of replicates. P values (P) indicate the level of statistical difference between pairs of contrasting stimuli i.e. person versus competing behavioural stimuli (other). Percentages of mosquitoes attracted to the persons are shown. The total number of mosquitoes collected in the choice and trap chambers (n) and the proportion of these that were attracted to either behavioural stimulus (Net attraction) are shown. Values followed by different letter superscripts in the same column differ significantly.
