Aedes albopictus | 3.3 (1.6–5.9) | 60.0 (26.2–87.8) | Humans [59] |
Anopheles maculipennis (s.l.) | 3.3 (1.6–5.9) | 50.0 (18.7–81.3) | Mammals, rarely on humans and birds [22] |
Aedes vexans | 2.6 (1.1–5.1) | 12.5 (0.3–52.6) | Mammals [60] |
Culex territans | 1.9 (0.7–4.2) | unengorged | Amphibians [61] |
Culex modestus | 1.6 (0.5–3.8) | 60.0 (14.6–94.7) | |
