Note; *significant, p < 0.05, Where, a = the presence of both species (A and B) in shared containers, b = the presence of species A but species B absent, c = the presence of species B but species A absent, d = samples of other Aedes species but species A and B absent, bc = single containers for both species, ad = both species in shared containers and negative containers, positive association when ad–bc = +ve, negative association/repulsion when ad–bc = −ve.
