Fig. 2 — The microbiota impacts several parameters of the Ross-MacDonald model of vectorial transmission. R₀ represents the basic reproductive number, the number of individuals that are expected to get infected via mosquito transmission when a single infected individual is present in a susceptible population. The variables indicated in bold are known to be microbiota-dependent. In grey, the specific effects of the microbiota on mosquito physiology and immunity are specified [13, 15–17, 20, 22, 23, 30, 35]. Potential roles of the mosquito microbiota on biting rate, anthropophily, incubation period and probability of human infection have not yet been investigated
