note	notes
Refs	references
assWMO	nearest WMO station with adequate GSOD data
NA	refers to data that was not available in the reference
?	the question mark refers to references that were not checked, since they were not available
c	This value is calculated by using the relationship EIR=HBR*CSPR.
d	This value either is either already considered or has been observed before the year of 1973.
e	CSPR was determined by the dissection of salivary glands of caught mosquitoes by microscope.
f	CSPR was determined by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assey (ELISA) technique.
g	HBR was measured by human bait catches.
h	HBR was measured by pyrethrum spray collections.
i	HBR was measured by using light traps.
j	HBR was measured by using exit traps.
k	This value was converted by using the multiplication factor of 3.57 (cp. Port et al. 1980).
s	This value is similar to another value from a different reference regarding the same field site and at about the same period.
