Figure 5From: A dynamic model of some malaria-transmitting anopheline mosquitoes of the Afrotropical region. I. Model description and sensitivity analysisProportion of An. gambiae s.s. surviving at 60% relative humidity and mean temperature of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40°C (selected for clarity) according to time (in days). Dashed vertical lines indicate the different age groups in the model. The Survival curve panel shows Eq. 31, while the Numerical solution panel shows survival in the model when the age groups are split into nine classes. For reference we also show survival according to the Marten equation (27) and Eq. 7 from Ermert et al. (Bayoh scheme) [29]. The mean absolute error for all combinations of temperature and relative humidity was 73 for our model, 171 for the Marten model, and 129 for the Bayoh scheme.Back to article page
