  1. N = number of mosquitoes tested.
  2. KdT50R, KdT50 of the tested population divided by KdT50 of the Kisumu (susceptible reference strain).
  3. % KD = percentage of mosquitoes knock-down after 60 mn.
  4. KdT50/95 = Knock-down times in minutes for 50 or 95% of adult mosquitoes after one hour of exposure to impregnated paper in WHO test Kits.
  5. CI 95 = 95% confidence intervals.
  6. No KdT = Complete loss of KD effect (less than 5% of KD mosquitoes after one hour exposure).
