  1. Blood fed mosquitoes collected from huts that had mosquito coils, DDT and no insecticides were kept in individual oviposition tubes and the number of eggs laid was compare between mosquitoes that had been collected from huts that had different insecticides.
  2. Legend: Median – Total mosquitoes caught per hut; IQR – Interquartile range; RR – Relative rate; CI – Confidence intervals.
