  1. Overall mortality in the negative control was 0% and 1% at 72 h for Anopheles funestus only
  2. Results are from a fixed effect binary logistic regression; 24-h mortality is set as the reference
  3. Mosquito strains and time of experiment are set as a fixed effect
  4. a Adjusted Odds ratio
  5. First experiment tested ITENs and ITWS fabric and second experiment tested ITNs fabric, and analysis was done separately.
