Table 3 Overall percentage mortalities for deltamethrin by species and strain based on the use of the standard WHO bioassays at the discriminating (DC), 5× and 10× concentrations. The sample sizes (n) and associated numbers of replicates are given in parentheses. Resistance intensity for each strain is classified as low, moderate or high based on revised criteria
