Table 1 Results of the best model for development time for each vector species separately. Model selection is based on ΔAIC and parsimony. For both species variables include temperature (logtemperature) and PCR plate (plate)

From: Effect of temperature and relative humidity on the development times and survival of Synopsyllus fonquerniei and Xenopsylla cheopis, the flea vectors of plague in Madagascar
