EIR values:
converted using (Port et al., 1980) average child–to–adult conversion factor, f, of 3·57.
Values in italics record the number of months in which 75% of transmission occurs. Other values record the length of the entire transmission season.
For Anopheles gambiae s.l.: An. funestus: any other locally important vector. Where absolute values are unavailable P indicates presence only and A absence.
NA refers to data that were not available, or not applicable. Values in bold refer to calculated values
