*Indoor residual spraying treatments of experimental huts used lambda-cyhalothin (30 mg/m2 in 4 huts), pirimiphos-methyl (2 g/m2 in 4 huts), or a negative control (water diluent only: 5 huts), which was applied to all inner surfaces of walls and ceilings. All doses are per square meter of treated netting (window screening and eave baffles) or wall and ceiling surface (IRS), so that these doses can be directly compared in terms of lethality and cost per unit area treated. The 26-day schedule applied to complete 1 full replicate of evaluation for duplicates of these 13 treatments, by rotating them through all 13 IRS-treated experimental huts, is detailed in Technical Appendix 1. BA, binding agent; IRS, indoor residual spraying; LC, lambda-cyhalothin; PM, primiphos-methyl.
