Figure 5From: Anopheles mortality is both age- and Plasmodium-density dependent: implications for malaria transmissionMosquito life expectancy. Life expectancy of mosquitoes maintained in the laboratory, plotted against time post-engorgement and number of ookinetes per μl of blood fed to the mosquitoes. The life expectancy values are generated from Equation (4) with S(t, K) as defined in Equation (3).Back to article page
