The proportion of infected mosquitoes predicted to survive the duration of EIP and be able to transmit P. falciparum parasites at different temperatures. The EIPvar values refer to the full logistic models describing the dynamics of sporogony across six constant temperatures presented in Shapiro et al. [23]. The EIP10, EIP50 and EIP90 values represent the 10-, 50- and 90-percentile points from the logistic curves. The EIPdd values are from the classic Detinova degree-day model [1]. a Assumes a constant mortality rate of adult mosquitoes of 10% per day. b Assumes adult mortality rate to vary with temperature based on the data presented in Shapiro et al. [23]
