Unfortunately, the original article [1] contained an error mistakenly carried forward by the Production department handling this article whereby some figures and their captions were interchanged. The correct figures (Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and captions are presented in this erratum. The original article has also been updated to reflect this correction.

Number of An. arabiensis, An. gambiae s.s., An. coluzzii and hybrid (An. gambiae s.s. × An. coluzzii) caught using CDC light traps per round during 2010 and 2011 (IRS using DDT was administered between 15–28 July 2010 and 20 July–9 August 2011)

Distribution of members of the An. gambiae s.l. complex in the study area during 2010 (a) and 2011 (b) transmission seasons. Pie charts show percentage composition of species of An. gambiae s.l. complex at CDC light trap sampling sites (excluding sampling sites with less than 10 mosquitoes caught in total across each transmission season)

Distribution of members of the An. gambiae s.l. species complex (excluding An. arabiensis) in the study area during 2010 (a) and 2011 (b) transmission seasons. Pie charts show percentage An. gambiae s.l. species composition (excluding An. arabiensis) at CDC light trap sampling sites (excluding sampling sites with less than 10 mosquitoes caught in total across each transmission season)

Vgsc-1014 mutation status of An. gambiae s.l. in the study area during 2010 (a) and 2011 (b) transmission seasons. Pie charts show percentage wildtype, homozygous and heterozygous Vgsc-1014F and Vgsc-1014S mutations in An. gambiae s.l. complex at CDC light trap sampling sites (excluding sampling sites with less than 10 mosquitoes caught in total across each transmission season)
