Table 2. Prevalence of mosquito infection, determined by PCR performed using mosquitoes’ head-thoraces, by blood meal source (A) and mosquito species (B), and results of mixed effects logistic model on mosquito infection status (C).

A Prevalence of mosquito infection by blood meal source
Singly-matched, % (n/N) Non-matched % (n/N) Multiple human sources, % (n/N)
Timing (Transmission Season)
Start 6.2 (10/160) 4.5 (2/44) 3.3 (3/91)
Peak 9.9 (37/375) 3.3 (2/61) 0 (0/41)
End 23.1 (25/108) 25.0 (7/28) 21.1 (4/19)
B Prevalence of mosquito infection by mosquito species*
A. gambiae s. s., % (n/N) A. coluzzii, % (n/N) A. arabiensis, % (n/N)
Timing (Transmission Season)
Start 4.9 (5/101) 3.8 (4/106) 9.7 (3/31)
Peak 9.3 (36/386) 2.5 (3/118) 12.5 (1/8)
End 31.4 (27/86) 15.4 (8/52) 0 (0/11)
C Mixed effects logistic model on infection status*
Odds ratio (95% CI) P-value
