Figure 10

Percent reductions in mosquito abundance by ITNs, applied in isolation, comparing household-level partial coverage and complete coverage. The x-axis denotes ITN coverage and the y-axis denotes ITN mortality. Each subfigure represents a specific combination of coverage scheme (household-level partial coverage or household-level complete coverage) and repellence (R) for ITNs: (1) the partial scheme, R = 0.2, (2) the partial scheme, R = 0.9, (3) the complete scheme, R = 0.2 and (4) the complete scheme, R = 0.9. ITN is applied at day 100 in the 40 × 40 grid-based landscape (see Additional file 6) with 50 houses having a total human population of 185. The percent reduction (PR) values, represented as filled contour plots in each subfigure, are calculated from data used in Figures 8 and 9. The colourbar on the right quantifies the PR isolines. The figure depicts selected results that involve a subset of the parameters from Table 3; results for the entire parameter space (see Table 3) are depicted in Additional file 12.
