1.

70 samples gave ambiguous results in the bloodmeal analysis and are not included in the table

2.

Mosquitoes identified morphologically as An. gambiae s.l. but which did not amplify with An. arabiensis, An.coluzzi, or An. gambaie s.s. primers are listed as An. gambiae s.l.

3.

Other species identified include An. stephensi (n=3), An. rufipes (n=2), An. coustani (n=4), and An. demeilloni (n=7). None had P.f. or human bloodmeal detected. Two An. coustani and one An. stephensi were positive for non-human bloodmeal
