Data are across locations at MOUT South, Village, and Transect sites following 29–30 October 2013 aerial ULV applications of naled against adult sentinel Ae. aegypti. This analysis provides a measure of both knockdown and long-term efficacy of the aerial naled treatments. Mortality was not significantly different between 4 hr and 12 hr mortality at any location, thus comparisons limited to 1 hr vs. 4 hr mortality. N.S., not significant (P > 0.05) indicates maximum mortality at initial 1 hr knockdown
*, P ≤ 0.05
**, P ≤ 0.01
***, P ≤ 0.001 indicate diminishing knockdown coupled with increasingly greater long-term effects.
