  1. Collected specimens: total number of collected specimens (all species and both sexes) in week with positive mosquito pools. *Data from BG refers to four consecutive sampling days with five traps, CDC refers to one day of sampling. Tested specimens: total number of tested female target species (Aedes albopictus, Culex modestus, Culex pipiens and Ochlerotatus caspius). N pool + /pool: number of positive pools/number of tested pools. Species: species of mosquitoes in positive pools. MLE (CI): estimated MLE value and 95% Confidence Interval of MLE value. N card + /N card: number of positive FTA cards/number of tested cards.
