Glossary of notation, including the initial values for each key parameter

symbol	definition	initial value
CI	proportion of embryos not hatching in incompatible CI crosses	0.999
MI	proportion of offspring receiving infection (maternal inheritance)	0.999
RF	relative fecundity of infected females to uninfected females	0.999
RLV	relative larval viability of infected larvae to uninfected larvae	0.999
IF	initial frequency of gravid infected females to the total adult population	0.500

In all subsequent model runs, each value remains constant while one key parameter is varied. (For a list of all population dynamic parameters, see Table S1 in Additional file 1.)
