Four replicates each with n = 50, 25 males and 25 females (1 h @ intervals of 10 min), with total n = 200. Values in the table represent number of mosquito landings; ASBs with different letters (column-wise) and different symbols (row-wise) are significantly different () computed by one-way ANOVA, followed by Tukey’s all pairwise multiple comparison test.
