*
Percentages of the total for each column are shown in parentheses. P values are from non-parametric Mann-Whitney tests to determine differences between years for each species within each sex.
†
These specimens were identified as members of the Anopheles gambiae species complex according to morphological methods but could not be further differentiated by polymerase chain reaction.

NA = not applicable.
