calcGambMort2: Mortality model for the Anopheles gambiae complex

Description Usage Arguments Details Value Author(s) Examples

Description

This is a temperature, relative humidity and size dependent mortality model for the Anopheles gambiae complex

Usage

1
calcGambMort2(t2, RH, bovine, human, HBI, d = 0:199, mSiz = NULL, mType)

Arguments

t2

Air temperature mosquitoes are exposed to

RH

Relative humidity mosquitoes are exposed to

bovine

The probability of finding bovine blood

human

The probability of finding human blood

HBI

Human blood index

d

Days at which the mortality curve should be estimated

mSiz

Mosquito size measured as wing length in mm

mType

An. arabiensis "a", or An. gambiae s.s. "g"

Details

calcGambMort2 calculate mortaility rate according to age groups. mType controls mortality over 40 C.

Value

A list (obj) containg mortality rate for the different age groups. obj$m1 is the mortality rate for age group 1, obj$m2 for age group 2, ..., and obj$m9 for age group 9.
