Table 1.

Bioassay results for Aedes aegypti, including samples collected in Madang and Port Moresby. Values are given as proportions and 95% CI [35]

Insecticide, location	Mean knockdown after 60 min (95% CI)	Mean mortality after 24 h (95% CI)
0.05% deltamethrin, Madang (n = 106)	0.29 (0.21–0.39)	0.33 (0.25–0.42)
0.05% deltamethrin, Port Moresby (n = 46)	0.13 (0.06–0.26)	0.07 (0.02–0.18)
0.05% lambda-cyhalothrin, Madang (n = 37)	0.11 (0.04–0.25)	0.32 (0.20–0.49)
0.1% bendiocarb, Madang (n = 18)a	0.89 (0.66–0.98)	0.89 (0.66–0.98)
4% DDT, Madang (n = 13)a	0 (0–0.27)	0 (0–0.27)
5% malathion, Madang (n = 33)	1.00 (0.88–1.00)	1.00 (0.88–1.00)

^aThe numbers of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes tested against Bendiocarb (n = 18) and DDT (n = 13) in Madang are too low to be statistically robust and these results are included for reason of completeness

Abbreviations: n, number of mosquitoes; CI, confidence interval
