Table 2. The contribution of different vector species to the exposure to host-seeking vectors that Magude residents experienced.

‘Residual human-adjusted exposure to host-seeking vectors’ shows the percentage of host-seeking mosquitoes of each vector species that residents were exposed to at the observed levels of bednet use. ‘Unavertable residual human-adjusted exposure to host-seeking vectors’ shows the percentage of host-seeking mosquitoes from each vector species that residents would have been exposed to if they all would have used a net when in bed.
