Mosquito breeding site water temperature observations and simulations towards improved vector-borne disease models for Africa

An energy budget model is developed to predict water temperature of typical mosquito larval developmental habitats. It assumes a homogeneous mixed water column driven by empirically derived fluxes. The model shows good agreement at both hourly and daily time scales with 10-min temporal resolution ob...
