a	Availability of individual hosts: rate at which a single mosquito encounters and then attacks a given single host or pseudo-host.	This paper.
A	Total availability of hosts and pseudo hosts: rate at which a single mosquito encounters and attacks all hosts and pseudo hosts.	This paper.
β	The mean number of infectious bites per emerging mosquito during its lifetime.	[43], [44], [73].
c	Cattle.	[43], [44].
CA	Proportion of the total available host resources accounted for by the odor-baited traps, equivalent to trap coverage.	This paper.
Ch	Proportion of people using ITNs, equivalent to ITN coverage as surveyed by its most relevant indicator [117].	[43], [44].
Δ	Probability that a mosquito which encounters a host will be diverted from that host.	[43], [44].
ε	Host-encounter rate: rate at which a single host-seeking mosquito encounters a given single hosts.	[43], [44], [54].
E	Emergence rate of mosquito vectors per year.	[43], [44], [73].
EIR	Entomological inoculation rate (mean number of infectious bites that an average individual human receives per year).	[43], [44], [54], [73], [77].
φ	Probability that a mosquito which attacks a host will successfully feed upon that host.	[43], [44], [54].
f	Feeding cycle length: measured as the number of days it takes a single mosquito to get from one blood feed to the next.	[43], [73].
g	Gestation interval: number of days a mosquito takes to digest a blood meal and return to searching for oviposition site.	[43], [44].
h	Humans.	[43], [44].
h,p	Protected humans using ITNs.	[43], [44].
h,u	Unprotected humans not using ITNs.	[43], [44].
κ	Human infectiousness to mosquitoes: probability of a vector becoming infected per human bite.	[43], [49], [73].
λ	Relative availability of hosts other than humans: calculated as a ratio of availability of those hosts to availability of humans not using ITNs.	[41], [43], [54].
L	Potential of any individual vector to transmit malaria from infectious humans over its lifetime.	[73].
μ	Probability that a mosquito which attacks a host will die during the attack.	[43], [44].
ηo	Oviposition site-seeking interval: number of days that a mosquito takes to find an oviposition site once it starts searching for it.	[43], [44].
ηv	Host-seeking interval: number of days a mosquito takes to find and attack a host.	[43], [44], [54].
N	Number of hosts.	[43], [44].
θΔ	Excess proportion of mosquitoes which are diverted while attempting to attack a human while that person is using an ITN.	This paper.
