  1. Representative sample values used to evaluate the impact of applying LSM and ITNs in combination. For 240 distinct parameter combinations, 50 replicated simulations are run, yielding a total of 12,000 simulations. For ITNs, the household-level complete coverage scheme is used (see Methods), and repellence is ignored. Within a 40 × 40 landscape, density houses refers to the number of houses (blood meal locations), and population density refers to the total human population (for the corresponding density houses ). For all cases, initially, aquatic habitat density is fixed at 200, and later reduced as LSM coverage is increased. Results are shown in Figure 11 and Additional file 13.
