Table 1 Estimates of the lethal concentration doses (LC50 and LC95) of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and Soap calculated from generalized linear models assessing the effect of H 2 O 2 and soap concentration (expressed in mg/l) on Anopheles gambiae s.l. larval mortality

From: Exposure to disinfectants (soap or hydrogen peroxide) increases tolerance to permethrin in Anopheles gambiae populations from the city of Yaoundé, Cameroon
