Adult mosquitoes were collected using overnight trapping with battery-operated CDC light traps, and classified to various species based on morphological identification. ^aSpecies composition of mosquitoes described in numbers. ^bSpecies composition of mosquitoes described in percentages. ^cIndicates data collected from our previous studies in Laos [101]
