Table 2 Description of parameters and parameter estimated used in the transmission model.
Parameters | Description | Point estimates |
|---|---|---|
a | Human feeding rate: Number of bites on human, per mosquito, per day, i.e., the product of the number of bites per mosquito per day and the proportion of bites on humans. | 0.4 day-1 |
b | Parasite transmission probability of mosquitoes to humans: The probability that an infectious mosquito transmit the parasite to a human from a single bite. | 0.6 |
c | Parasite transmission probability of humans to mosquitoes: The probability that a mosquito become infected from a single bite on an infectious human. | 0.5 |
ν | The rate that an infected human becomes positive for malaria parasite: An inverse of latent period. | 1/18 day-1 |
P | Treatment coverage: The proportion that infected humans receive the malaria treatment | 0.99 |
ξ | The rate that an symptomatic human becomes infectious: An inverse of duration of gametocytogenesis | 1/7 day-1 |
r | The rate that an asymptomatic human lose the infectivity: An inverse of duration of gametocyte carriage in natural infection | 1/188 day-1 |
σ | The rate that an infectious human lose the infectivity with respect to treatment: |  |
|  | σ1: An inverse of duration of gametocyte carriage after mefloquine treatment | 1/10 day-1 |
|  | σP: An inverse of duration of gametocyte carriage after ACTs treatment | 1/6 day-1 |
|  | σQ: An inverse of duration of gametocyte carriage after primaquine follow-up treatment | 1/2 day-1 |
μ | Import rate of asymptomatic cases: The proportion of imported case per person per day | 0.001/365 day-1 |
g | Death rate of mosquitoes: An inverse of expected lifespan of a mosquito | 1/12 day-1 |
q | The rate that an infected mosquito becomes infectious: An inverse of duration of sporogony | 1/12 day-1 |
λ | Average recruitment rate of adult mosquitoes | 0.33/12 day-1 |
