In a Kenyan study, Seyoum et al. used 10 potted Lantana plants hung close to the eaves of 4 houses over 24 nights, and also used CDC LT as a proxy for human exposure to host-seeking mosquitoes. The authors demonstrated a 27.22% (95% Cl 0.04-47.16) reduction in house entry of Anopheles gambiae s.l. (mainly Anopheles arabiensis) and no repellent efficacy against Anopheles funestus, contrary to the significant 83% reduction seen in Tanzania. The reason for this difference...
