Figure 2

Distribution of the ratio of infectious mosquitoes (I) to Human (H), of malaria prevalence (PIH: Proportion of infected humans) and of the sporozoite rate for unfed mosquitoes among various aquatic habitats. a) One productive water source in patch 1. b) Two productive water sources in patch 1 and 9. c) One productive water source in patch 1 and one non-productive water source in patch 9. Human population was uniformly distributed from patch 2 to 16. The dotted black lines correspond to the ratio of fed infectious mosquitoes (I f ) and the dashed black lines to the ratio of unfed infectious mosquitoes I u . The solid black lines correspond to the malaria prevalence (PIH) and solid red lines to the sporozoite rate for unfed mosquitoes. Dark gray bars represent the presence of a productive water source and light gray bars the presence of a non-productive water source.
