The data of King (1954) were analyzed by rank correlation methods to determine if the results of tests of candidate mosquito repellents on cotton fabric were correlated with the results of tests of the same compounds on the skin. The coefficient of rank correlation was statistically significant (P less than 0.01) for tests against salt marsh mosquitoes, Aedes sollicitans and Ae. taeniorhynchus, and yellow fever mosquitoes, Ae. aegypti, but not for tests against malaria mosquitoes, Anopheles quadrimaculatus. The coefficient of rank correlation was small (rs less than or equal to 0.40), and it was concluded that cotton fabric is not an efficient model for the skin in repellent screening programs.
运用等级相关方法分析了金（1954年）的数据，以确定候选驱蚊剂在棉织物上的测试结果是否与相同化合物在皮肤上的测试结果相关。对于针对盐沼蚊虫（骚扰伊蚊和带喙伊蚊）以及黄热病蚊虫（埃及伊蚊）的测试，等级相关系数具有统计学意义（P小于0.01），但对于针对疟蚊（四斑按蚊）的测试则不然。等级相关系数较小（rs小于或等于0.40），由此得出结论，在驱蚊剂筛选项目中，棉织物并非皮肤的有效模型。
