N, number of habitats; (%), proportions percentage of breeding land use types, mean of various vector species is presented alongside the confidence intervals. An., Anopheles s.l, sensu lato; the table describes the mean of various malaria vector species per study site; - no analysis of variance since some land use type had no anopheline mosquito count
