How it works

Scaled individual vectorial capacity was defined as expected infectious biting days for a mosquito infected one day after adult emergence. — Malaria control and senescence: the importance of accounting for the pace and shape of aging in wild mosquitoes
The vectorial-capacity analysis held biting rate, infection probability, and mosquito density constant to focus on mortality. — Malaria control and senescence: the importance of accounting for the pace and shape of aging in wild mosquitoes
Under constant mortality, scaled individual vectorial capacity increases monotonically with lifespan. — Malaria control and senescence: the importance of accounting for the pace and shape of aging in wild mosquitoes
Under Gompertz mortality, vectorial capacity depends on both initial mortality and age-related mortality increase. — Malaria control and senescence: the importance of accounting for the pace and shape of aging in wild mosquitoes
Constant mortality assumptions can overestimate transmission risk and intervention sensitivity, especially for long extrinsic incubation periods. — Malaria control and senescence: the importance of accounting for the pace and shape of aging in wild mosquitoes
