*
Collected as larvae or pupae from artificial containers and reared to adults before species identification. Not all observed immatures (which also included Ae. epactius and other mosquito species) were reared successfully to adults.

The process for estimating these numbers is explained in Materials and Methods.

Calculated based on the specific sampling dates for each community shown in Table 1.
