Table 2.

The equations used to model the changes in the Extrinsic Incubation Period (EIP) of six different pathogens using temperatures from the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) and microclimatic temperatures recorded at Strødam and Faxe, May–October 2015.

Pathogens Equations References
Bluetongue virus 0.0003 × T × (T−10.4057)/24 4
Schmallenberg virus (0.019 × (T – 13.3))/24 5

Dirofilaria immitis (T −14/130)/24 19, 45
Malaria (0.000126 × T (T–14.244) × √(34.4-T))/24 16
West Nile virus (−0.132 + 0.0092 × T)/24 20

T = hourly temperature.
