Direct bednet effects depending on the holed surface area on three mosquito species. The first column of panels a, b is for An. gambiae KISUMU strain, the second column of panels c, d is for An. gambiae collected in Akron, and the third column of panels e, f is for Cx. quinquefasciatus collected in Cotonou. The first row of panels a, c, e shows the personal protection against feeding (see "Appendix"), the second row of panels b, d, f shows the overall insecticidal effect of a bed net used by an individual. Symbols show median values with grey squares representing intact LLINs; cyan squares LLINs with holes of 3 cm2; magenta squares LLINs with holes of 30 cm2; yellow squares LLINs with holes of 300 cm2; black circles intact untreated nets; red circles untreated nets with holes of 3 cm2; lime green circles untreated nets with holes of 30 cm2; dark blue circles untreated nets with holes of 300 cm2. Vertical lines show 95 % confidence intervals.
