A validated agent-based model to study the spatial and temporal heterogeneities of malaria incidence in the rainforest environment

Table 4 Plasmodium module parameters

Parameter name	P. falciparum	P. vivax	Notes and references
T_min extrinsic incubation	16 °C	14.5 °C	[55]; minimum temperature of incubation inside the vector body
DD extrinsic incubation	111 °C DD	105 °C DD	[55]; number of degree days to complete the sporozoites development inside the vector body
Intrinsic incubation time	(9–14) days	(12–17) days	[56, 57]; (min–max) range. The value is extracted from an uniform distribution between min and max
Transmission efficiency from asymptomatic human to mosquito	0.1	0.1	[65]
Transmission efficiency from human to mosquito	0.4	0.4	[64]
Transmission efficiency from mosquito to human	1	1	The value is chosen to maximize the number of infectious bites and reduce the simulations computational weight
Human infectious period if treated	300 h	24 h	[59]; calibration parameter only for P. falciparum
P. vivax recurrence time		203 days	[63]
P. falciparum recurrence risk		0.3	[63]
Gametocytemia time	(10–14) days	(9–13) days	[58–60]; (min–max) range. The value is extracted from an uniform distribution between min and max
