  1. Robust standard errors were applied to the final models.
  2. Reference sex is male; reference age < 10 years; reference roof material grass thatch; reference toilet facility none.
  3. 1 Universal net coverage defined as households with one or more net for every two people;
  4. 2 Baseline village prevalence of P. falciparum among ≥ 5 years is included in P. falciparum models, while baseline village mf prevalence among ≥ 5 years is included in W. bancrofti models.
