Primary Assay — Yellow Fever Mosquito
Insecticide Response
Aedes aegypti
WHO bottle and tube assays expose mosquitoes to discriminating doses of insecticide. Knockdown time and 24-h mortality benchmark resistance, while behavioral assays detect repellency and irritancy.
Quantitative Output
Measured Parameters
Every parameter is automatically tracked frame-by-frame in the ConductVision pipeline for Aedes aegypti.
| Parameter | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Knockdown time (KT₅₀) | min | Time to 50% knockdown |
| 24-h mortality | % | Lethal endpoint |
| Excito-repellency | ratio | Time on vs off treated surface |
| Resistance ratio | fold | LD vs susceptible reference |
