Comparison of Anopheles funestus sensu stricto and Anopheles gambiae sensu stricto sporozoite infection rates by CSP-ELISA, PCR, and both CSP-ELISA and PCR combined for the 2012 wet, 2012 dry, and 2013 wet collections
| Anopheles spp. | CSP-ELISA | PCR | CSP-ELISA and PCR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wet 2012 | An. funestus s.s. (N = 343) | 8 (2.3%) | 0 (0%) | 0 (0%) |
| An. gambiae s.s. (N = 36) | 0 (0%) | 0 (0%) | 0 (0%) | |
| Dry 2012 | An. funestus s.s. (N = 1315) | 31 (2.4%) | 32 (2.4%) | 8 (0.61%) |
| An. gambiae s.s. (N = 8) | 0 (0%) | 0 (0%) | 0 (0%) | |
| Wet 2013 | An. funestus s.s. (N = 676) | 19 (2.8%) | 24 (3.6%) | 7 (1%) |

CSP-ELISA = circumsporozoite enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; PCR = polymerase chain reaction.
