Efficacy of melanization response in control mosquitoes and mosquitoes infected by one of four isolates of <i>V. culicis</i>.
No full text<p>Each point represents the mean proportion of a Sephadex bead melanized by a mosquito. The vertical lines represent the standard errors of the means and the horizontal, dotted line shows the mean of the controls. Again, the numbers in the bars indicate the number of mosquitoes sampled.</p
Success of infection by <i>P. berghei</i> in control mosquitoes and mosquitoes infected by one of four isolates of <i>V. culicis</i>.
No full text<p>(a) The proportion of mosquitoes that harboured at least one oocyst 10 days after blood feeding. (b) The mean number of oocysts in mosquitoes with at least one oocyst. In both panels, the vertical lines show the standard errors of the estimates, the horizontal, dotted lines show the means of the controls, and the numbers in the bars indicate the number of mosquitoes analyzed. The isolates are numbered in order of increasing melanisation efficacy (see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0004676#pone-0004676-g002" target="_blank">Figure 2</a>).</p
The association between the melanization response and the success of infection by <i>P. berghei</i>.
No full text<p>Each point shows the mean within a block of the control or the microsporidian-infected mosquitoes (where the four isolates were pooled), and the horizontal and vertical lines show the standard errors of the estimates. (a) Association between the melanization response and the proportion of mosquitoes harbouring at least one oocyst 10 days after bloodfeeding. (b) Association between the melanization response and the mean number of oocysts.</p
Number of females inseminated by, and longevity of males with and without rest days.
No full text<p>WT males (solid line) inseminate more females than OX513A males (dashed line) both without (panel A)) and with (panel C)) rest days. Data points were calculated with the number of males that survived each day. WT males outlive their OX513A counterparts whether given rest days (panel D)) or not (panel B)). Error bars represent the standard error.</p

The effect of coverage on malaria prevalence at the epidemiological equilibrium.
No full text<p>Prevalence in unprotected people is shown by the dashed line, in protected people by the dotted line, and the population as a whole is represented by the solid line. In panel (a) repellency is <i>r</i> = 0.3, in panel (b) <i>r</i> = 0.9. Other parameters are given in <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0144173#pone.0144173.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>.</p
Host searching cycle of a mosquito.
No full text<p>A mosquito bites indoors with probability <i>ϵ</i> (for night-active and highly anthropophilic mosquitoes, this happens mainly at night) and takes a bite outdoors with probability 1 − <i>ϵ</i>. A mosquito then bites humans with a probability <i>Q</i>. If biting indoors, it will enter a house where a person sleeps under a bed net with a probability <i>ϕ</i> (the ITN coverage) or a house with an unprotected person with a probability 1 − <i>ϕ</i>. If the person is protected, the mosquito is repelled by the insecticide (or mechanically blocked by the net) with a probability <i>r</i>; if it is not repelled, it takes its bite and escapes with probability <i>s</i> or it is killed by the insecticide on the net with probability (1 − <i>s</i>). If a mosquito is repelled by a bed net, it leaves the house and continues to search for a host. There is a mortality cost <i>μ</i><sub><i>r</i></sub> associated with each repellency event. We assume that a mosquito will always land a successful bite on unprotected people and and on animals, whereas the feeding success on protected people depends on <i>r</i> and <i>s</i>. The host search happens once per mosquito gonotrophic cycle, i.e. once every three days (see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0144173#pone.0144173.t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>).</p
The effect of repellency on malaria prevalence at the epidemiological equilibrium.
No full text<p>Unprotected people are represented by the dashed line, protected people by the dotted line, and the population as a whole by the solid line. In panel (a) coverage is <i>ϕ</i> = 0.2, in panel (b) <i>ϕ</i> = 0.7.
