Modelling the relative abundance of the primary African vectors of malaria before and after the implementation of indoor, insecticide-based vector control

Table 1 Estimated effect of indoor insecticide-based interventions on the abundance of the primary African vector species

	An. arabiensis	An. funestus	An. gambiae/An. coluzzii
Indoor residual spraying (IRS)	0.34 (0.32–0.36)	0.038 (0.03–0.04)	0.139 (0.13–0.15)
Long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs)	0.304 (0.25–0.37)	0.051 (0.05–0.06)	0.054 (0.05–0.06)

Effects are expressed as the median (95 % confidence interval) predicted ratio of post-intervention to control abundances inside houses, per species-intervention combination. Smaller numbers therefore indicate more significant expected reductions
