Quantifying late-stage host-seeking behaviour of Anopheles gambiae at the insecticidal net interface using a baited-box bioassay

Table 2 Mosquito response rates in three studies with three different operators/hosts

	Response rate (%)
	No mosquitoes responding/no. tested
Study	Study 1	Study 2	Study 3
Operator	AG	MA	AH
Mosquito strain	Kisumu	Kisumu	Kisumu	Tiassalé
Treatment
Untreated	27% (13/48)	76% (25/33)	77% (20/26)	67% (20/30)
PermaNet 2	18% (7/38)	58% (25/43)	61% (20/33)	61% (20/33)
Olyset		57% (25/44)
Total no. tested	86	120	59	63

Within each study, there were no significant differences in responses to Untreated nets and PermaNet 2.0 or Olyset ITNs: Study 1: X² (1, n = 86) = 0.89, p = 0.35, OR = 0.61, 95% CI = 0.22–1.72); Study 2: (1, n = 75) = 2.57, p = 0.11, OR = 0.77, 95% CI = 0.37–1.58); Study 3 (Kisumu) (1, n = 59) = 1.77, p = 0.18, OR = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.35–1.76) and Study 3 (Tiassalé) (1, n = 63) = 0.25, p = 0.617, OR = 0.91, 95% CI = 0.41–2.01)
