Assessment of biting risk was conducted outdoors using human-occupied double net traps and indoors using both exit window traps and Prokopack® Aspirator

** represents the average temperature and relative humidity in the huts which were averaged over the entire duration of the study

## represent other Anopheles species caught during the study which are Anopheles coustani, Anopheles pharoensis, Anopheles welcommei and Anopheles squamosus
