Table 1.
Relative proportion of Anopheles gambiae species complex members in random monthly samples from light trap catches.
| Month | An. gambiae s.s. (%)a | An. arabiensis (%)a | An. melas (%)a | Total | No resultb | Total PCR specimens | % of total catch identified by PCR |
| Aug | 25 (38) | 16 (25) | 24 (37) | 65 | 6 | 71 | 0.9 |
| Sept | 75 (40) | 48 (25) | 67 (35) | 190 | 21 | 211 | 0.5 |

| Total | 193 (43) | 122 (29) | 121 (28) | 436 | 45 | 481 | 0.8 |
a proportion of each species divided by the total number of An. gambiae s.l., expressed as a percentage; b no amplification after 3 PCR attempts.
