  1. Odds ratio adjusted for net type, volunteer, hut position/number and day of the experiment
  2. Laboratory-reared mosquitoes were used for WHO cone, WHO tunnel and I-ACT
  3. For the experimental hut trial, the ITNs were tested against free-flying wild pyrethroid-resistant Anopheles arabiensis and Culex quinquefasciatus in Lupiro, Ifakara
  4. *p-value > 0.05
