Omitting age-dependent mosquito mortality in malaria models underestimates the effectiveness of insecticide-treated nets
Mathematical models of vector-borne infections, including malaria, often assume age-independent mortality rates of vectors, despite evidence that many insects senesce. In this study we present survival data on insecticide-resistant Anopheles gambiae s.l. from experiments in Côte d’Ivoire. We fit a c...
