The correlation coefficients are calculated between (A) monthly JE incidence rates and time-lagged Culex mosquito abundance, (B) monthly DF incidence rates and time-lagged Ae. albopictus abundance, (C) monthly malaria incidence rates and time-lagged An. sinensis abundance, respectively. Boldface denotes the largest value of correlation coefficient and significance with
*p<0.05;
**p<0.01; and
***p<0.001.
All significance levels are assessed at α<0.05.
