Characterizing larval breeding sites: microbial density
Microbial densities did not show significant differences among larval breeding site groups, habitats, or Ae. aegypti present and absent sites in La Lopé (Figure 2e, Table S4). In Rabai, we found significantly lower microbial density in domestic sites than forest and peridomestic sites (Figure 2f, Table S5). Microbial densities were similar in forest and peridomestic breeding sites. Lastly, Ae. aegypti present and absent sites within each habitat had comparable levels of microbial density.
