Table 5. Test catches of E-net grids with the netting removed and the wires forming a double or single bank, compared to control catches with a standard E-net.
Insect | Test wires | Total catch | Percent catch | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Test | Control | Mean | 95% CL | ||
Tsetse | 2 banks | 888 | 1263 | 70* | 64–77 |
1 bank | 586 | 2162 | 27* | 25–30 | |
Muscoids | 2 banks | 38 | 80 | 48* | 31–71 |
1 bank | 21 | 57 | 37* | 21–62 |
The mean percent catch is the total catch with the test wires, as a percent of the total at the control. In each comparison the pulse interval was 15ms and the energy per pulse was 175mJ. An asterisk next to the mean percent catch indicates that the test and control catches differed at P<0.05.
