Table 1. Description of the parameters used for the dengue basic reproductive number model.

	Description	Formula/calculation
a	Frequency of the vector mosquito feeding on a person/day	a = C/x
C	Proportion of mosquitoes feeding on human blood instead of other animals	0.99 [37]
x	Gonotrophic cycle length, measured by the interval between blood meals taken	Conservative estimate of 4.5 days [38]
r	Rate of human recovery (1/number of days)	Four to five days [36, 39–41] So, 1/4.5
ma	Number of mosquito bites per person/day	Average number of mosquitoes collected per person/day during the adult mosquito sampling study
μ	Mortality rate of female mosquitoes	1- p
p	Daily survival probability of adult mosquitoes	A1/X
A	Average proportion of parous mosquitoes	Proportion parous from the mosquito survival data
n	Development days of virus in mosquito	Using graph [42] with Average Tdry in study area = 23.2 °C Average Train in study area = 23.3 °C
b	Proportion of female mosquitoes infective after taking infective blood meal	0.4 [36, 43]
d	Transmission from human to mosquito	0.4 [36, 43]
