  1. EIR entomological inoculation rate, HI house improvement, LSM larval source management, NA not applicable because EIR analysis at household level not done due to low values
  2. aEIR and Anopheles mosquito densities are based on nightly rates
  3. bEffect size estimates are presented as relative rate ratios based on household-level generalized linear models with the control arm as the reference category
