Table 2 Influence of ageing-conditions, hay concentration and conspecific odors on attraction to infusion-baited AGO-Bs
From: An improved autocidal gravid ovitrap for the control and surveillance of Aedes aegypti
Experiment | Infusion age (days) | Infusion attractant | Avg. females per trap (95% CI) | F | P-valueb |
