*

Human biting rate (HBR) is the number of adult female Anopheles collected per house per night (total adult female Anopheles caught/total nights of collection).

IRR=incidence rate ratio.

Modern houses were defined as those with a cement, wood, or metal wall, tiled or metal roof, and closed eaves; all other houses were defined as traditional; IRR for house type was adjusted for household socioeconomic position.

§

Before indoor residual spraying, IRR adjusted for 2013 household socioeconomic position and after indoor residual spraying, IRR adjusted for 2016 household socioeconomic position.
