Entomological datasets used to predict human prevalence.

Basic entomological data (vector density and infection rate) and the estimate of the probability of transmission were used to predict human prevalence. Vector densities (average per house) were corrected according to the collection methods used (M1, M2 and M3) as defined in the main text. Density and infection rates were available for domestic (D) or peridomestic (P) habitats. Mean infection rates are given for the villages. The biting rate was set up to 0.2, i.e. the average rate estimated by [33].
aThe proportion of blood-meals on humans was selected according to the habitat of the bugs. For T. infestans, this proportion was set to 0.4 in the domestic habitat [11], [24] and to 0.01 in the peridomicile [27]. For other species, this proportion was set to 0.26 [46] and 0.01 in the domestic and peridomestic habitat, respectively. SZ, NZ: Respectively south and North zone of Cochabamba, Bolivia [45].
