Instantaneous treatment effect comparisons: AORs and ARRRs, 95% CIs, and p-values from generalised linear mixed modelling (GLMM) using generalised structural equation modelling (GSEM).

*All-species estimates from crossed random effects generalised (logit) linear mixed model with random effects for cross-sectional (month) and village-specific heterogeneity in infection, and village-specific heterogeneity in effect of repellent distribution.

Species-specific (ARRR) estimates from crossed random effects generalised (multinomial) linear mixed model with random effects for cross-sectional (month) and village-specific heterogeneity in infection. No infection was the reference group for the outcome.

AOR, adjusted odds ratio; ARRR, adjusted relative risk ratio; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; RDT, rapid diagnostic test.
