Adult abundance index relative to the pixel where the capture was conducted is indicated. Human landing results are relative to the hour following sunset which represent the An. hyrcanus aggressiveness peak [4] and approximately 80% of the total number of An. hyrcanus captured during the entire night. Each line corresponds to a human landing catch session carried out by one volunteer belonging to the research team (two people were present at Hu6 and Hu7).
