† All concentrations in parts per million (ppm) with 95% confidence intervals between brackets; ‡ Hours after exposure. Six concentrations were tested and replicated with 50 mosquitoes six times each (n = 300). LC and EI values were determined by probit analysis (Finney 1971). Mortality was corrected using Abbott's formula (Abbott 1925) with values obtained from the negative control. |
