Confusion, knock-down and kill of Aedes aegypti using metofluthrin in domestic settings: a powerful tool to prevent dengue transmission?

Table 1 Impact of metofluthrin (5% AI) on biting and KD of Ae. aegypti in winter and summer

Mean (CI) human landing rate is a 1 minute human biting count of 30 female Ae. aegypti 5 min. before and 1 hr after exposure to a 5% AI emanator. Mean (CI) KD/kill assessed from a cohort of 10 3–10 day old female Ae. aegypti held in a Clarke bioassay ring placed 2 m from an emanator. Numbers following CIs in same row indicate significant difference in mean KD number between treatment and control using a t-test (landing rate) or ANOVA (KD), with means separated by Tukey’s multiple comparison test.
