Abbreviations: nd, not determined in the study; PBO, piperonyl butoxide. For each column (#, ##, and ###), where provided, numbers in the same row (from the same study) sharing a letter superscript do not differ significantly (P > 0.05). The insecticide contained in each ITN are as follows: Olyset contains Permethrin; Olyset Plus contains Permethrin + PBO; PermaNet 2.0 contains Deltamethrin; PermaNet 3.0 contains Deltamethrin + PBO; MAGNet® contains Alpha-cypermethrin; VEERALIN® contains Alpha-cypermethrin + PBO
