Table 1 Main features of seven datasets fitted with a spatial Poisson model to assess the efficacy of boosted SIT during three field trials implemented in La Reunion (site 1) from March to July 2021, and in La Vilavella (site 2) and Polinyà de Xúquer (site 3) (Valencia Region, Spain) from June to October 2021.

  1. Each data set was the combination of two consecutive rows that described data (count of adults or eggs) from a treated zone and its associated control zone at a given site. The number of sessions was the product of the number of traps by the number of trapping dates. The counts corresponded to the total catches of adult mosquitoes or eggs throughout the study.
