Table 4 Plasmodium module parameters
| Parameter name | P. falciparum | P. vivax | Notes and references |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tmin 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 |
