Entomological characterization of malaria in northern Colombia through vector and parasite species identification, and analyses of spatial distribution and infection rates

Table 2 Results of infection by locality showing the minimum infection rate (MIR), calculated as a ratio, considering one positive mosquito per pool, proportion of positive houses, and parasite species detected

Village	Total Anopheles screened	Infected pools	MIR (ratio)	Proportion of positive houses
Village	Total Anopheles screened	Infected pools	MIR (ratio)	Total over 24 sampled houses	Positive for P. vivax	Positive for P. falciparum	Positive for mixed infection
