Vector-specific estimated entomological parameters

This data object contains bionomic parameterizations for 57 Anopheles mosquito species and 17 complexes (families of species). These parameters have been estimated using a Bayesian hierarchical model accounting for the phylogeny of the Anopheles genus and informed by entomological data available from the Malaria Atlas Project and other published field studies.

vec_ent_param

Format

A data frame with the following columns:

  • species_name: name of the mosquito species

  • M: parous rate (proportion of host-seeking mosquitoes that have laid eggs at least once)

  • Chi: human blood index (proportion of blood meals derived from humans by mosquitoes)

  • A0: sac rate (proportion of mosquitoes who laid eggs the same day)

  • zeta.3: relative availability of different non-human hosts

  • td: proportion of a day that a mosquito actively seeks a host

  • tau: time required for a mosquito that has encountered a host to return to host-seeking

  • ts: duration of the extrinsic incubation period (time required for sporozoites to develop to mosquitoes)

  • to: oocyst development time

  • endophily: proportion of indoor resting mosquitoes #'

  • endophagy: proportion of indoor feeding mosquitoes

Value
