The proportions of Anopheles mosquitoes caught by traps. The relative proportions of (A) An. arabiensis versus An. funestus and (B) Anopheles spp versus Culex spp were estimated from logistic regression models adjusted for random effects of house and date. (The error bars represent 95% confidence intervals (CI)). The relative proportion of An. arabiensis compared to An. funestus was lower for CDC-LT collection than HLC (odds ratio [OR] = 0.24, 95% CI = 0.20–0.29, p < 0.001). The proportion of Anopheles spp compared to Culex was lower for CDC-LT collection than HLC (OR = 0.90, 95% CI = 0.77–1.04, p < 0.001). The relative proportions of An. arabiensis and Anopheles spp were also lower estimated by the HDT (OR = 0.11, 95% CI = 0.04–0.28, p < 0.001) and (OR = 0.34, 95% CI = 0.26–0.47, p < 0.001) respectively, compared to those of the outdoor HLC
