Landing rates in the laboratory and field experiments. (A) Landing rates as a function of time. While in the field experiments the participants tested a negative control over 6 hours, the negative control in the laboratory AIC test was done once before and once after the actual experiment with the treated arm; hence, unlike in the field experiments, no curves are plotted for the negative controls in the AIC test. For ease of visibility the points are jittered along the x-axis. The individual model parameters of the underlying GLMs are given in Tables 2 and 3. (B) Landing rates measured in the AIC test on the untreated forearms prior and post treatment with the repellent. The boxes represent the interquartile distances (IQD), while the centre lines through each box show the medians. The dots indicate outliers and the whiskers extend to the extreme values of the data, calculated as ± 1.5 × IQD from the median. For ease of readability a single outlier showing a landing rate of 10 landings per second in Ae. aegypti in the first control has been removed from the graphic.
