Does Cattle Milieu Provide a Potential Point to Target Wild Exophilic Anopheles arabiensis (Diptera: Culicidae) with Entomopathogenic Fungus? A Bioinsecticide Zooprophylaxis Strategy for Vector Control

Table 1

Hazard ratio of An. arabiensis after exposure on different fungal-treated surfaces and cattle. The numbers in brackets are 95% confidence intervals. The treatments are abbreviated as TCTca for (treated cloth roof + calf), TCUca for treated cloth + untreated calf, TwTca for (treated mud wall + treated calf), TwUca for (treated mud wall + untreated calf), and UwTca for (untreated mud wall + treated calf).

Fungal treatmentsHazard ratio (HR) Relative to control

Treated (cloth + calf)2.56 (1.73–3.78)
Treated cloth + untreated calf2.36 (1.73–3.21)
Treated (wall + calf)4.05 (2.26–7.26)
Treated wall + untreated calf4.13 (2.99–5.71)
Untreated wall + Treated calf2.30 (1.48–3.58)
