Statistical analysis
The proportions of mosquitoes caught in the bed net trap were
interpreted as host-seeking mosquitoes. The proportions were calculated
by dividing the number of mosquitoes caught in the bed net trap/exit
trap/resting with the total number of mosquitoes recaptured for each
phenotype (resistant and susceptible mosquitoes) respectively.
Observations of host seeking behavior and exit behavior of resistant and
susceptible phenotypes were compared between treatments using
generalized linear model (GLM) with binomial distribution and logit link
function. The LLINs were considered bio-effective when the percentage of
mosquitoes knocked down after 60 min post-exposure was above 95% or
mortality after 24 h was above 80% in the WHO cone
bioassays(WHO, 2006).Statistical analysis
was done using statistical program Stata (Version 14, StataCorp, College
Station, Texas).
