  1. Results followed by different capital letters indicate significant differences between mosquito survival rates when comparing different treatments (lines). Results followed by different small letters indicate significant differences between mosquito survival rates when comparing different exposure times using the same treatment (columns). Statistical differences were analysed using a one-way ANOVA and Duncan’s post-hoc test at the 5% level
