  1. The average percent mortality rates for A. aegypti, A. albopictus, A. gambiae, C. quinquefasciatus and C. pipiens larvae that were fed with 5-HTR.426 insecticidal or control yeast are shown. The standard errors of the mean (SEMs) along with the total numbers of individuals subjected to each treatment (n) are also provided. The p values obtained from Student’s t-test for the arcsine transformed data between 5-HTR.426-treated and corresponding control-treated individuals are also shown.
