Table 2 Parameter estimates for sugar-feeding model incorporating gonotrophic cycles
| Parameter: | Prior distribution (per day): | Posterior estimate with 95% credible interval (per day): |
|---|---|---|
| ASB-feeding rate (0–2 gonotrophic cycles, control): sA,C | Uniform (0,10) | 0.25 (0.18 - 0.31) |
| ASB-feeding rate (3 or more gonotrophic cycles, control): sB,C | Uniform (0,10) | 0.035 (0.009 – 0.076) |
| ATSB-feeding rate (0–2 gonotrophic cycles, experiment): sA,E | Uniform (0,10) | 0.84 (0.53 – 1.21) |
| ATSB-feeding rate (3 or more gonotrophic cycles, experiment): sB,E | Uniform (0,10) | 0.12 (0.03 – 0.27) |
| Female death rate, μ f | Normal (0.1,0.01) | 0.094 (0.081-0.110) |
| Female ATSB death rate: μ f ,ATSB | Uniform (0,100) | 12.2 (7.5 – 23.9) |
| Reciprocal of gonotrophic cycle length: δ | Normal (0.33,0.03) | 0.34 (0.30-0.39) |
