    <p>The model takes into account the effect of: the treatment (i.e, sentinel, SS, <i>versus</i> control, CS, sites), the replicates (i.e. Exp 1.1 and Exp 1.2) and the interaction between treatment and replicates on pyriproxyfen-related mortality. OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval. Statistically significant (p<0.05) odds ratios in bold.</p

    <p>a and b – views of the study area with dissemination stations and sentinel and control sites; Exp. 2.1 and Exp. 2.2: frequencies (%) of dead <i>Aedes albopictus</i> larvae/pupae (in black) and of emerged adults (in white) in the first and second experiment carried out in the study area with 5% pyriproxyfen powder; sentinel sites are numbered accordingly to <a href="http://www.plosntds.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pntd.0001793#pntd-0001793-g004" target="_blank">Figure 4</a>.</p

    <p>a – whole DS; b – higher and lower parts of DS, where arrow indicates black cotton cloth dusted with powdered pyriproxyfen; c – lower part of DS, where arrow indicates the net placed above the water level to prevent mosquitoes contacting with water.</p

    <p>PPF = pyriproxyfen concentration; T = mean daily temperature during experiments; Total = percentage of dead larvae/pupae over 250 third instar larvae in 10 control sites (CS) and 10 sentinel (SS), respectively.</p

    <p>Experiment 1.1: 0,5% pyriproxyfen concentration; experiments 1.2, 2.1, 2.2: 5% pyriproxyfen concentration.

    Information on the two Sequenom iPLEX® multiplexes used to genotype the X-centromeric region of An.gambiae and An.coluzzii specimens from Guinea Bissau and Burkina Faso as described in the paper. The two iPLEX assays were designed to genotype a total of 35 X-pericentromeric species-specific SNPs, yielding a density of 1 SNP per 0.12 Mb across the 4 Mb region targeted
