Boxplot of the number of Mansonia spp. collected per method in three sampling periods.
Samplings were carried out in the surrounding area of Santo Antônio Hydroelectric Power Plant in Porto Velho, Rondônia, Brazil, between 2021 and 2022.
Table 2.
Mansonia collection performance of four traps compared to HLC.
The comparison considers the reference value ’Abundance of Mansonia collected with HLC’. Linear mixed model fit by REML [‘lmerMod’]. Formula: N ~ method + (1 | day) + (1 | n_home).
