  1. an: number of mosquitoes examined
  2. b% mortality: mortality rate (expressed in %) after 2 h of exposure to insecticide
  3. cKDT: rate of mosquitoes “knocked down” (KD, expressed in %) recorded at diagnostic time. 30 min for deltamethrin and permethrin, 35 min for transfluthrin
  4. d% control: survival rate of the mosquito group that did not receive insecticide (expressed in %) calculated after 2 h observation
  5. eStatus: resistance status as defined by WHO. Briefly, a mortality in the range 98–100% indicates susceptibility (S); a mortality between 90 and 97% indicates suspected resistance; a mortality < 90% indicates resistance (R)
