Schematic representation of the state-space population model showing different life stages compartment (circles) and flows (arrows) of Anopheles funestus. Abundance data were only available for unfed, blood-fed and gravid stages. The model assumes that once a gravid mosquito has laid eggs, they return to the unfed stage. The annotations are described in Table 1. The model incorporates six life stages (eggs, larvae, pupae, unfed, bloodfed and gravid) of An. funestus
