Table 1 Approach to weighted overlay method for creating a predicted mosquito suitability model for Zambézia Province, Mozambique
From: Prevalence and determinants of malaria among children in Zambézia Province, Mozambique
Mosquito suitability score | Elevation (m) | Mean annual temperature (°C) | Mean annual precipitation (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|
1 = high suitability 5 = low suitability | Weight in model: 50% | Weight in model: 25% | Weight in model: 25% |
1 | ≥650 | >27 | >271.9 |
2 | Not applicable (NA) | 26–27 | 257.5–271.9 |
3 | NA | 25–26 | 230.4–257.5 |
4 | NA | 24–25 | 201.1–230.4 |
5 | <650 | <24 | <201.1 |
