Abundance and species composition of larval Anopheles communities in dry and wet seasons, western Zambia. a Estimated total abundance of Anopheles species (/groups), calculated by applying species proportions from a subset of sampled larvae (b) to the total number of surveyed larvae per transect point and summing for all transect points. b Composition of specimens identified from cytochrome c oxidase I and/or internal transcribed spacer region 2 DNA sequences. “Unknown An. species” assigned to specimens whose alignment with NCBI nt accessions fell below the 95% identity threshold, but most closely matched to anopheline sequences. Sampling undertaken in Limulunga and Mongu districts, Western Province; dry season: Sept–Oct 2017; wet season: May–June 2018. Basemap: ESRI Shaded Relief (2020)
