Fig 6. (A) Comparison of simulated and observed mean development times of sand fly eggs, larvae, and pupae at the indicated temperatures, and (B) simulated development times of eggs, larvae, and pupae at the indicated temperatures encompassing the range of soil temperatures collected during a field study in West Bengal, India [49] to which we assumed immature sand flies were exposed.

Vertical bars in (A) represent ±1 standard deviation of development times at 20°C [16,18] and the range of development times at temperatures 25.5–30.5°C.
