^aNested PCR, targeting a 477 bp-fragment of the mitochondrial cytb gene [27]
^bNumber of mosquito specimens
^cLineage prevalence
^dSamples showing clear sequence matching in GenBank but inconclusive results in the MalAvi database due to the presence of more than one lineage with similar sequence identities
