  1. aMosquitoes were collected from each of the three study sites by a total of 120 human-nights.
  2. NoT: Number of female Anopheles mosquitoes tested with ELISA Circum-sporozoite protein (CSP); ma: Biting rates estimated by number of bites/human/year (b/h/yr); EIR: Entomological inoculation rates estimated as number of infected bites per human per year (ib/h/yr).
