*For Asembo 2011, An. gambiae s.l. represents those mosquitoes that were morphologically identified as An. gambiae s.l. but could not be identified by PCR.
^†Estimated from man biting rate observed at Saradidi as reported in Table 1 of Beier et al. [27].
^‡Daily biting rates were estimated by converting the total number of bites as reported by Githeko et al. [34] to nightly biting rates. Sporozoite rates presented are those reported by Githeko et al. [35] from the same villages and time period.
