Parameter (value)

Definition

Reference

a

Contact rate

Varied (.25-2)

b-1 (9 days)

Average extrinsic incubation period

[14]

μ-1 (18 days)

Average mosquito lifespan

Approximated from [43-45]

ϵm (5000 females/week)

Emergence rate of adult mosquitoes

[31]

ze-1 (4 days)

Latent period (humans)

[27]

(v1-10)-1 (1 day each)

Duration of each infectious subclass (ID1-10)

[20]

q1 (.02)*

Acquisition potential

*Extrapolated or directly from [20]

q2 (.37)*

q3 (.83)*

q4 (.92)

q5 (.89)

q6 (.82)

q7 (.54)

q8 (.21)

q9 (.06)

q10 (.02)

  1. Note that the emergence rate (ϵm) results in an average mosquito density (per person-1) of <0.5.
  2. *Mosquito acquisition (q1-3) values were extrapolated by curve fitting while q4-10 were taken directly from Nyguen, et al. [20] as described.
