Quantifying the effects of temperature on mosquito and parasite traits that determine the transmission potential of human malaria

(A) Best fit thermal performance curve for relative force of infection (here the number of infectious bites predicted for a cohort of 100 female mosquitoes); grey points represent the calculated number of bites for the mean of both experimental blocks and error bars represent standard deviation. (B) Comparison of scaled thermal performance curves for rVC and relative force of infection. Numerical values can be accessed at http://dx.doi.org/10.5061/dryad.74389 [34]. rVC, relative vectorial capacity.
