Response of gravid mosquitoes to non-sterile and sterile white oak leaf infusions in sticky-screen bioassays

Species	Mean total no. females (SE) captured per trial^*		Mean OAI^** (SE)	P ≥ \|t\|^***
Species	Non-sterile Infusion	Sterile Infusion	Mean OAI^** (SE)	P ≥ \|t\|^***
Aedes aegypti	41.6 (1.6)	16.3 (0.4)	0.43 (0.05)	< 0.001
Aedes albopictus	45.6 (0.4)	13.0 (0.4)	0.55 (0.03)	< 0.001

In each of 3 experimental trials, there were 6 replicate cages, each containing 10 gravid females
