Parameters definition and range of values.

(1)Vector, human and non-human hosts natural death rates were estimated as 1/individual longevity. The range of variation of longevity (i.e. 1/death rate parameter defined in the model), as those are the raw data found in the literature (see sections ‘Vector local growth rate’ and ‘Human and non-human hosts natural death rates’ in Text S1).
(2)Death rates were calculated as the sum of the natural death rate of human or non-human hosts and additional mortality imposed by the pathogen to infectious and ‘recovered’ individuals (as calculated in section ‘Human and non-human hosts mortality induced by the pathogen’ in Text S1).
