The size of the pools of collected mosquitoes varied considerably; therefore, infection rates were calculated using bias-corrected maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) and minimum infection rate (MIR) using the Excel add-in PooledInfRate v.4 statistical software package (Biggerstaff, 2006). The rates are expressed as the number of infected mosquitoes per 1,000 collected mosquitoes.
