Model calibration and validation. a Calibration of model for savannah settings by fitting SIMPOP to data from Asubende, river Pru, Ghana, corresponding to 7-day intervals of aerial larviciding. b Calibration for forest settings by fitting the model to data from Lenouck, Sanaga river valley, Cameroon, corresponding to 10-day intervals of pirogue (boat)-based larviciding. c Validation of savannah-calibrated model against data from weekly (aerial) larviciding in OCP sites in Burkina Faso and Côte d’Ivoire. d Validation of forest-calibrated model against data from weekly larviciding by boat in forest areas of Bioko. In the validation datasets (c, d), local values of pre-intervention equilibrium DBR and air/water temperature were used but all remaining parameters were unchanged
