This data object contains time series of measurements of mosquito biting behavior, as well as of human activity.

activity_patterns

Format

A data frame with 7 columns consisting of:

  • id: database record ID (a unique value per time series)

  • species: for mosquito activity entries: name of the mosquito species; for human activity entries: "Homo sapiens"

  • sampling: for mosquito activity entries can be one of: HBI (human biting indoors), HBO (human biting outdoors), ABO (animal biting outdoors), or HB (human biting); for human activity entries can be one of BED (humans in bed) or IND (humans indoors)

  • country: the country where the measurements have been taken

  • site: the name of the location where the measurements have been taken

  • hour: hour when the measurement was done

  • value: for mosquito activity entries: proportion of overall mosquito bites at a given time in the corresponding location; for human activity entries: proportion of overall humans in the corresponding location at a given time.
