Times at which individuals interviewed during cross-sectional household surveys in Dar es Salaam reported having gone indoors for the evening, gone to bed for the evening, gotten out of bed in the morning and left the house in the morning, the previous night, stratified by derived individual estimates for the proportion of exposure to An. gambiae bites that would occur indoors in the absence of a bed net or window screening (π i ). For comparison with the biting activity profile of the most important malaria vector in the city, these frequencies of human behaviours are plotted alongside the human biting rates measured by human landing catch (HLC) in selected areas of relatively high vector density in 2006 [9, 10] that were used to calculate these individual estimates for π i
