Table 2 Ae. aegypti mortality rates after exposure to insecticides in 2016 and 2017 using WHO tubes standard bioassay guidelines. The chi-square is calculated, and the probability comparing 2016 and 2017 data and insecticides of the same family are shown

From: High frequencies of F1534C and V1016I kdr mutations and association with pyrethroid resistance in Aedes aegypti from Somgandé (Ouagadougou), Burkina Faso
