Legend: The proportion of mortality induced by insecticides was measured in experimental huts in a semi field system for 16 nights. Mortality was compared between huts that had mosquito coils, DDT and no insecticides.
Median – median proportion of mosquitoes per hut per night; IQR – Interquartile range.
