Fig. 1From: Modelling the impact of larviciding on the population dynamics and biting rates of Simulium damnosum (s.l.): implications for vector control as a complementary strategy for onchocerciasis elimination in AfricaFlow diagram of the model for the population dynamics of Simulium damnosum (s.l.) (SIMPOP). Boxes represent life-cycle states (eggs, larval instar stages 1–7, pupae, nulliparous and parous adults), arrows represent movement in and out of those statesBack to article page
