Table 1 Bioassay results for Aedes aegypti, including samples collected in Madang and Port Moresby. Values are given as proportions and 95% CI [35]

  1. aThe numbers of Ae. aegypti mosquitoes tested against Bendiocarb (n = 18) and DDT (n = 13) in Madang are too low to be statistically robust and these results are included for reason of completeness
  2. Abbreviations: n, number of mosquitoes; CI, confidence interval
