  1. †Indicates that statistical models produced estimates outside the study period: for Culex quinquefasciatus TPRI, estimated mortality for Actellic CS-B on mud was higher than 50% throughout the entire study period; for Culex quinquefasciatus Muheza, estimated mortality for Lambda CS was lower than 80% throughout.
