Descriptions and probability distributions of the biological parameters used in the estimation of Index P for DENV transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes.

Adult Ae. aegypti biting rate	$a_{\left(u\right)}^v$	normal	0.25, 0.01	bites · mosq.−1 · day−1	65,66
Human lifespan	1/μh	normal	70, 3	years	—
Intrinsic human-DENV incubation period	1/γh	lognormal	5.94, 1.80	days	20
Human-DENV infectious period	1/σh	normal	4, 0.51	days	67–69

Transmission probability per mosquito bite (Ae. aegypti-to-human)	${\varphi }_{\left(t\right)}^{v\to h}$	none	N/A	N/A	N/A
Transmission probability per mosquito bite (human-to-Ae. aegypti)	${\varphi }_{\left(t\right)}^{h\to v}$	none	N/A	N/A	N/A

SD is standard deviation. The transmission probability per mosquito bite (Ae. aegypti-to-human and human-to-Ae. aegypti) are defined by deterministic temperature-dependent equations.
