Figure 1

Central scenario simulation with base model. a) The blue line (on left vertical axis) represents the proportion of the population covered and the red line (on left vertical axis) represents the mean insecticide in the remaining LLINs as a proportion of its initial value. The light green line (on the right vertical axis) represents the mean hole index in the remaining LLINs[29]. b) The black line represents the number of episodes per person per five-day period, and the dark green line represents their one-year moving average. The red arrow indicates the approximate length of the effective lifetime of the LLIN distribution. c) Host-searching mosquitoes per person (HSMPP). The red line represents nocturnal mosquitoes and the lime green line represents crepuscular mosquitoes. d) The proportion of nocturnal mosquitoes out of the total host searching mosquitoes (Ļ€i) is represented by the magenta line. The thin black line represents the 365 day moving average. e) Proportion of humans transmitting malaria to mosquitoes. f) Infectious HSMPP. The red line represents nocturnal mosquitoes and the lime green line represents crepuscular mosquitoes.
