Flow chart of the malaria parasite transmission between humans and mosquitoes. Flow chart of various components of the LMM version of 2010 in terms of the modelling of the malaria parasite transmission between the human and mosquito populations. The sporogonic cycle of infected female mosquitoes is furthermore displayed. Individual states of humans and mosquitoes are indicated by black rectangles. The orange rhombi denote decisions within the model as well as implemented functions. Green and red arrows represent a positive and negative affirmation, respectively. The impact of model drivers is indicated via blue triangles and blue arrows (T: daily mean temperature; RΣ10d: 10-day accumulated rainfall; tr im : trickle of the number of added infectious mosquitoes). Note that abbreviations of model parameters are explained in Table 1.
