A simple method for calculating mosquito mortality rates, correcting for seasonal variations in recruitment
Open accessAbstract
Abstract A simple age‐structured exponential growth model is presented for the analysis of the population dynamics of mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae). In this model, the proportion of parous mosquitoes R depends on the birth rate β, and the length of the first gonotrophic cycle g , but not on the mortality rate. If the age structure is fairly constant, R = exp(– β g ). Extensions of the model correcting for feeding patterns are given. A simple method is applied to an example of Anopheles gambiae Giles biting density and parity ratio in Côte d'Ivoire (fortnightly sampled longitudinal data set), for calculation of the seasonally fluctuating mortality rate, correcting for effects of recruitment. The seasonal variations in birth rate and mortality rate are discussed in relation to variations in density and rainfall.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
