Equilibrium daily EIR as a function of the mean time to death from fungal infection () for three values of the daily probability of fungal infection (): A, C = 0.1 B, C = 0.5 C, C = 0.9. Lines represent varying sublethal effects of fungal infection on mosquito feeding biology, including no sublethal effects (solid lines), a 25% decrease in the daily probability of finding a blood meal () and a 25% increase in the duration of the non-host-seeking stage () in fungal pathogen-infected mosquitoes (dashed lines), a 50% decrease in and a 50% increase in (dotted lines), and a 75% decrease in and a 75% increase in (dot-dashed lines). Other parameters are given in Table 1.
