Summary of the experimental design and sample size of laboratory mosquitoes scanned to determine NIRS accuracy to predict Anopheles species according to killing and preservation methods. For the model trained to predict the effect of the Kaltox (Kaltox Paalga® insecticide) killing method, 100 Anopheles mosquitoes (50 An. gambiae and 50 An. coluzzii) were used. Validating and testing the model were realized using 50 Anopheles mosquitoes per subset (25 An. gambiae and 25 An. coluzzii). When training the model to predict the effect of the chloroform killing method, 138 Anopheles mosquitoes (68 An. gambiae and 68 An. coluzzii) were used per replication. This model was validated and tested using each time 68 Anopheles mosquitoes (34 An. gambiae and 34 An. coluzzii) per data subset. NIRS, near-infrared spectroscopy
