Managing insecticide resistance in malaria vectors by combining carbamate-treated plastic wall sheeting and pyrethroid-treated bed nets

Table 1 Mortality and blood feeding rates of Anopheles gambiae "Ladji" release-recapture in experimental huts (3 replicates)

*An. gambiae*	Control	ITN	ITN + PPWI 1/3	ITN + PPWI total
Females caught	206	227	193	202
Females dead	6	92	155	202
Mortality (%)	2.9^a [0.6-5.2]	40.5^b [34.1-46.9]	80.3^c [74.7-85.9]	100^d
Corrected mortality (%)		38.9^a	79.7^b	100^c
Females blood fed	87	6	15	0
Blood feeding rate (%)	42.2^a [35.5-49.0]	2.6^b [0.6-4.7]	7.8^c [4.0-11.6]	0^b
Blood feeding inhibition (%)	-	93.74	81.60	100

Note: ITN = insecticide-treated net (deltamethrin at 25 mg/m²); PPWI 1/3 = top third of the walls covered with woven polypropylene treated with bendiocarb at 200 mg/m²; PPWI total = walls completely covered with woven polypropylene treated with bendiocarb at 200 mg/m². Values in the same row sharing the same superscript letter do not differ significantly (p > 0.05).
