Table 2. Comparison on the recapture rate and LT50 between non-chilled and post-chilled Aedes albopictus IHC males under semi-field condition.
Treatment | Replicate | No. of IHC males released | No. of IHC males recaptured | Recapture rate (%) | P value a | LT50 (days) b | P value c |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Non-chilled | 4 | 8000 | 1606 ± 326 | 20.1 ± 4.1 | P < 0.0001 | 3.49 | P = 0.3747 |
Chilled | 4 | 8000 | 1963 ± 194 | 24.5 ± 2.4 | P < 0.0001 | 3.40 |
a: A linear relationship was observed between the daily SqRoot transformed number of IHC males captured and post-releases time if the P value was lower than 0.05 using regression analysis.
b: LT50: Lethal time of 50% IHC males.
c: Slope of equation was not statistically different between the non-chilled and chilled males if the P value was higher than 0.05 using ANOVA analysis.
All the results were presented as (Mean ± SEM).
