Comparison between biopesticides and instant-kill insecticide with 50% contact irritancy, across range of coverage values. Lifetime reproductive success with interventions as a proportion of LRS for untreated mosquitoes (top left panel) and as a proportion of LRS for mosquitoes treated with an instant-kill insecticide with 50% contact irritancy (top right panel). Reduction in average infectious bites per mosquito lifetimewith interventions, compared to the value for untreated mosquitoes (bottom left panel), 0 = no reduction in infectious bites, 1.00 = no infectious bites. Reduction in infectious bites with interventions vs untreated mosquitoes, compared to the reduction achieved using a conventional instant kill insecticide with 50% contact irritancy (bottom right panel), 1.00 means reduction in AIB equal to that achieved by instant-kill insecticide with 50% contact irritancy.
