Do holes in long-lasting insecticidal nets compromise their efficacy against pyrethroid resistant Anopheles gambiae and Culex quinquefasciatus? Results from a release–recapture study in experimental huts

Holed surface area is given in cm² with between parenthesis holed surface area in per cent of the total net surface. The relationship used is that found with the three-variable regression model (Table 5; Additional file 3).
