Percentage mortality after 24 h exposure period during WHO tube assay for susceptibility to permethrin, deltamethrin, and bendiocarb in 3-5-day-old mosquitoes from larvae collected from Teso North and Teso South subcounties, Western Kenya, between 2012 and 2014.

Superscripted numbers represented the number of 3-5-day-old female mosquitoes assayed. -Where 3-5-day-old female mosquitoes were not available for exposure to that particular insecticide. WHO criteria for susceptibility are as follows: mortality rates between 98% and 100% indicate full susceptibility; mortality rates between 90% and 97% require further investigation while , the population is considered resistant to the tested insecticides. |
