Question

What is the vectorial capacity equation and which component has the greatest impact on malaria transmission?

Accepted Answer

The daily survival probability of the mosquito (p) has the greatest impact because it appears as an exponential term in the equation; even small reductions in mosquito longevity disproportionately reduce transmission

Answer

Vectorial capacity is unrelated to mosquito density

Answer

The human blood index is the sole determinant

Answer

Only the number of sporozoites per mosquito matters

Answer

Vectorial capacity depends only on temperature
