An experimental hut study to quantify the effect of DDT and airborne pyrethroids on entomological parameters of malaria transmission

Table 2 Total mosquitoes collected from experimental huts in the field during the 3 – day wash out period (experimental nights; n = 12)

Day of wash out	N	Median	IQR	RR	95% CI	z value	p value
1	1064	42.0	23.8 – 96.3	NA	NA	11.168	NA
2	1238	46.0	34.5 – 100.8	50.3	[20.2 - 125.5]	0.240	0.810
3	1187	59.0	52.0 – 91.5	54.8	[22.0 - 136.7]	0.425	0.671

Legend: This table illustrates the indoor densities of mosquitoes of experimental hust that previously had coils and DDT. Entry of mosquitoes was measured for 3 days. N - Total number of mosquitoes; Median – Number of mosquitoes per experimental day; IQR – Interquartile range; RR – Relative rate CI – Confidence intervals.
