UA unfed alive, UD unfed dead, F fed, FD fed dead, FA fed alive. \(\alpha\): feeding rate. \(\mu\): death rate while host seeking. \({p}_{{{{\rm{c}}}}}\): probability to survive after biting. For rates and probabilities, subscript 0 refers to the control arm and subscript i refers to the intervention arm. The left panel (blue) represents the possible outcomes for a vector in presence of an unprotected individual in the control arm (untreated net). The right panel (red) represents the possible outcomes for a vector in presence of an individual protected by an ITN.
