  1. 14-7 day old, 24h sugar-starved females.
  2. 2Metofluthrin evaluation = 900; DDT evaluation = 1200.
  3. 3Both indoor/outdoor air sampling during metofluthrin evaluations; only indoor air sampling during DDT evaluations; ND = not detectable.
  4. 4Observations from sentinel cohorts within screened cages positioned at air sampling locations.
  5. 5Chi-square analyses with α = 0.05 and 2 degrees of freedom.
  6. 6Treated-netting panels comprising 50% surface area of interior hut walls.
  7. *One sample; a labeling error is suspected.
  8. Median concentration of airborne DDT significantly different between treatment huts (p<0.05) based on Mann–Whitney Rank Sum Test.
