Four replicates each with n = 50, 25 males and 25 females (24 h), total n = 200. Corrected percent mortality; values in the table represent the number of mosquitoes dead; ATSBs with different letters (column-wise) are significantly different () computed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s all pair wise multiple comparison test.
