  1. N1 number of specimens collected, HBR human biting rate. b/h/n Bites per human per night. For the HBR distribution, values between An. gambiae s.l. and An. funestus s.l. were significantly different overall (Wilcoxon test; P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between outdoor and indoor HBR for both species (Wilcoxon test; P > 0.05). CI confidence interval
