The annual, temporal and spatial pattern of Setaria tundra outbreaks in Finnish reindeer: a mechanistic transmission model approach

Table 1 The equations used to model changes in the extrinsic incubation period (EIP) of S. tundra in mosquitoes, blood-meal digestion period (biting rate) and daily survival rate of mosquitoes

Trait	Equation	Reference
EIP of S. tundra in mosquitoes	1/((T-14)/130)	[10, 12, 13]
Blood meal digestion rate (biting rate)	1/(0.0943 + 0.0043*T)	[32]
Survival rate of mosquitoes	e^{-1/(-4.4 + 1.31Tmean – 0.03(Tmean)^2)}	[21, 33]
Survival rate of mosquitoes	Daily maximum survival rate is set as 90%	[21, 33]

Abbreviations: T, temperature (hourly, °C); Tmean, daily mean temperature (°C)
