These estimates are determined from village-specific data on human activity moving indoors or outdoors throughout a 12-h period overnight and mean hourly mosquito blood-feeding behavior human landing catch HLC data collected across the Cascades region in 2016–2017. The mean, median and range in the proportion of mosquito bites received indoors for different cohorts of the community are noted. Corresponding estimates using the Niakore specific HLC data are provided in Additional file 1: Table S1
