CHIKV = chikungunya virus; DENV = dengue virus; VC = vectorial capacity.

^*Mosquitoes held at mean temperature cycles or cycles specific to trap location (site).

^†Proportion of mosquitoes taking at least two blood meals during their lifetime.

^‡Probability of daily survival.

^§Vector competence = proportion of mosquitoes with disseminated infections by day 21 postinfection.

^‖Extrinsic incubation period in days.

^¶VC = h*b*pⁿ.

^#Transmission not detected, value indicates limit of detection.
