Host-specific cues cause differential attractiveness of Kenyan men to the African malaria vector Anopheles gambiae

Table 3 The number of mosquitoes caught per trap in the presence (test period I, 20.00 – 20.45 hours) and absence (test period II, 21.30 – 22.15 hours) of host-seeking stimuli. Traps A, B and C were linked to tents occupied by persons P₂, P₆ and P₅, respectively. n, the total number of mosquitoes trapped per test period also expressed (in parentheses) as a proportion of the total number of mosquitoes released.

Day	Test Period	Number of mosquitoes trapped			n (proportion)

1	I	36	10	12	58 (0.55)
	II	2	4	2	8 (0.09)
2	I	33	3	8	44 (0.49)

Total	I	145 (0.64)^a	26 (0.12)^b	54 (0.24)^c	225 (0.57)
	II	20 (0.34)^a	18 (0.31)^a	20 (0.34)^a	58 (0.15)

Totals not followed by the same letter in the same row are significantly different (P < 0.001).
