Parous rate, life expectancy and vectorial capacity of Anopheles introlatus

Number dissected	55
Parous rate	65.5
Probability of survival (p)1	0.87
P10 (%)	25
p10/-loge p (days)2	7.2
Vectorial capacity 3	1.94

¹Thus the daily probability of survival (p) was taken as ³√P (P = percentage parous) [45].

p¹⁰ percentage of population expected to live long enough to become infective with an extrinsic cycle of 10 days for P. knowlesi.

²life expectancy [46].

³vectorial capacity VC = ma²pⁿ/-log^ep [47].
