Table 1.
Characteristics of the included studies.
Table 2.
Relative frequency of the 10 most common blood meals for each observed mosquito species in the included studies.
Table 3.
Forage ratio for birds of the order Passeriformes in the selected studies.
A result equal to 1 represents opportunistic feeding behaviour, while one greater than 1 or lower than1 represents preference and avoidance, respectively. Bird species are reported in alphabetic order. Species that are significantly preferred and/or avoided are reported in bold.
Table 4.
Forage ratio for birds other than Passeriformes in the selected studies.
A result equal to 1 represents opportunistic feeding behaviour, while one greater than 1 or lower than 1 represents preference and avoidance, respectively. Bird species are reported in alphabetic order. Species that are significantly preferred and/or avoided are reported in bold. Species are reported divided by order.
Table 5.
Forage ratio for non-avian species in the selected studies.
A result equal 1 represents opportunistic feeding utilization as for chance, while one greater than 1 or lower than 1 represents preference and avoidance, respectively. Host species are reported in alphabetic order. Species that are significantly preferred and/or avoided are reported in bold.
