This data object contains for each of the three host types (humans protected by interventions, non-protected humans, and animals) estimated parameters for the entomological model of malaria transmission.

host_ent_param

Format

A data frame with 5 columns consisting of:

  • species name: name of the mosquito species

  • probability: probabilities that a mosquito completes the next stage of the oviposition cycle in one night, conditional on having reached that stage. Can only be one of the following: PBi(probability that a mosquito bites host of type i), PCi(probability that a mosquito finds a resting place after biting a host of type i), PDi (probability that a mosquito survives the resting phase after biting a host of type i), PEi(probability that a mosquito lays eggs and returns to host-seeking after biting a host of type i), Kvi(proportion of susceptible mosquitoes that become infected after biting a host of type i)

  • host_type_1: value of the probability for host type 1 (humans protected by the intervention)

  • host_type_2: value of the probability for host type 2 (humans not protected by any intervention)

  • host_type_3: value of the probability for host type 3 (animals)

Value

host-specific entomological parameters
