^aAverage rate of mosquitoes, regardless of infection status, containing virus in their legs.

^bAverage rate of refeeding mosquitoes with a disseminated infection that transmitted virus.

^cAverage rate of disseminated infection after ingesting RVFV multiplied by percentage of mosquitoes with a disseminated infection that transmitted virus by bite.
