  1. CFG, counterflow geometry trap baited with Limburger cheese; CDC, standard centers for disease control light trap; ET, entry trap; MLC, man landing catches; The percentages are calculated for each mosquitoes species per trap. For example, of all the An. arabiensis mosquitoes collected by the CFG trap, 80% were parous while of all the An. arabiensis mosquitoes collected by the CDC light trap 66% were parous.
