  1. Results are shown as 24 h mortality in percent (bold) with 95% confidence intervals given (95% CI) along with the total number of mosquitoes exposed [N]. Susceptibility status based on mortality rates is classified according to the WHO criteria as follows: S (susceptible) denotes 98–100%, PR (possible resistant) denotes 90–97% and R (resistant) denotes < 90% mortality. Cells designated NA are indicative of no data available as no bioassays were conducted or data were omitted due to sample size being too low
  2. aInsecticide susceptible An. farauti s.s. colony maintained at PNGIMR
  3. bInconclusive because of low number of mosquitoes tested
