Distributions of vector feeding success (A to E and K to O), and measurable biting activity (F to J and P to T) on non-users of long-lasting insecticidal nets, over the first eight days of life (30 days were simulated but are not presented in the interests of clarity) as a function of preferred feeding suitability profiles, recruitment time and evasion of insecticide contact once inside houses, under conditions of lower (×1/3) and higher (×3) host availability, and therefore maximum encounter rates (E _max ), than field estimates for Anopheles arabiensis in rural Tanzania (Table 1 ).
