Vector bionomics and vectorial capacity as emergent properties of mosquito behaviors and ecology
Fig 4
Comparison of results from MBITES and MBDETES under restricted (Markovian) assumptions on waiting times and state transition probabilities.
B: Egg laying rate is the number of eggs laid, per female, per day. C: Blood feeding by age is the age distribution of mosquitoes taking bloodmeals. D: Feeding cycle duration is the time between post-prandial resting periods. In each panel, MBITES is summarized as a red histogram overlaid against the smooth density (in blue) predicted by MBDETES. All cases see excellent agreement, with MBITES fluctuating around MBDETES due to finite sample size of mosquitoes in the stochastic simulation.
