Table 6. Test catches with E-nets incorporating various layers of ultra-fine netting, compared to control catches with a standard E-net, each operated at various pulse intervals.

Insect Pulse interval Test layers Total catch Percent catch
Test Control Mean 95% CL
Tsetse 1ms 1 layer 598 693 86* 77–96
3 layers 748 899 83* 75–92
15ms 1 layer 222 268 83* 69–99
3 layers 173 259 67* 55–81
Muscoids 1ms 1 layer 702 1045 67* 61–74
3 layers 141 188 75* 60–94
15ms 1 layer 271 470 58* 49–67
3 layers 20 30 67 36–121

The mean percent catch is the total catch with the test layers, as a percent of the total at the control. In any one comparison, the test and control E-nets were operated at the same pulse intervals, and always at 35mJ per pulse. An asterisk next to the mean percent catch indicates that the test and control catches differed at P<0.05.
