  1. RR = rate ratio. Adjusted RRs for Anopheles and culicine mosquitoes were adjusted for maternal education, cracks or openings in house, bed net use, proximity to rice fields, and population density. Adjusted RRs for flies were adjusted for maternal education, cracks or openings in houses, and population density
