Simulations of the impact of insecticidal interventions on the female adult population size. Interventions were simulated by the decreasing survival that would plausibly occur at five different stages: larval (ρl), pupal (ρp), adult females host-seeking (ρs), adult females resting (ρn) and adult males (ρd). The legend shows the percentage of decreased survival imposed on each parameter i.e. 0 (the initial group) -10, -30, -40 and -80%. Abbreviations: IRS, indoor residual spraying; ITN, insecticide-treated net
