Summary of estimates for the proportion of mosquito bites taken when people are indoors or in bed

Parameter, definition	Mosquito species/complex (no. of data points)	Previous model estimates (21–23)	New estimate
			Median	Range
ΦI, the proportion of mosquito bites indoors	All species (255)	0.97	0.87	0.13–1.00
	An. gambiae s.l. (167)	NA	0.89	0.23–1.00
	An. gambiae s.s (8).	0.97	0.90	0.70–1.00
	An. arabiensis (13)	0.96	0.86	0.60–1.00
	An. funestus s.l. (41)	0.98	0.87	0.53–1.00
ΦB, the proportion of mosquito bites in bed	All species (255)	0.89	0.79	0.09–1.00
	An. gambiae s.l. (167)	NA	0.81	0.09–0.99
	An. gambiae s.s (8).	0.89	0.85	0.53–0.98

	An. funestus s.l. (41)	0.90	0.78	0.38–0.98
Q0, anthropophagy, the proportion of bites on humans	An. gambiae s.s.	0.92
	An. arabiensis	0.71
	An. funestus s.l.	0.94
Mean life expectancy, d (see references noted in ref. 23)	An. gambiae s.s.	7.6 (4.5–16.1) d
	An. arabiensis	7.6 (4.1–16.1) d
	An. funestus s.l.	8.9 (5.6–10.2) d
Biting rate	All mosquitoes	1 bite every 3 d

Values combined data from a systematic literature review and President’s Malaria Initiative country reports. Most mosquitoes are classified as An. gambiae s.l. Adding information on mosquito species significantly improved statistical model fit (SI Appendix, Table S1), although there is considerable overlap between species and most data were collated from different sites. Additional mosquito species-specific related parameters, anthropophagy, background mortality, and mosquito biting rates used in the modeling are provided. NA, nonapplicable. The model in Griffin et al. (23) parameterizes mosquitoes with behaviors similar to An. gambiae s.s. rather than the complex more generally, although has the flexibility to do this. Therefore, no An. gambiae s.l.-like behavior is defined in Table 1.
