The efficiency of predators in reducing the survival rates of against third instar larvae of An. gambiae s.s in semi-field experimental settings
| Predator species | Mean (± SD) | Relative reduction (%) | Levelx |
|---|---|---|---|
| Control | 0.92 ± 0.21 | 0 | a |
| Tadpole | 0.86 ± 0.26 | 6.08 | a |
| Belestoma | 0.56 ± 0.31 | 39.24 | b |
| Dragonfly Nymph | 0.37 ± 0.35 | 59.60 | c |
| Gambusia affins | 0.28 ± 0.32 | 69.69 | c |
| Backswimmer | 0.24 ± 0.33 | 74.30 | c |
Percentage of relative reduction was calculated against control population.
