RBI relative breeding index (number of habitats positive for An. stephensi divided by the total number of habitats positive for any mosquito)
aIncludes the total density of Anopheles, Culex and Aedes species
bOther breeding habitats include underground tanks or sumps, barrels or drums, plastic pots, plastic containers, cemented containers, curing pits in construction site
