    Please note, not all rigor criteria are appropriate for all manuscripts.

    Table 1: Rigor

    EthicsField Sample Permit: Sample collection and processing: Adult mosquitoes were collected with BG-Sentinel traps (Biogents AG, Regensburg, Germany) baited with dry ice, for 24 hours.
    Sex as a biological variableMiami-Dade Mosquito Control District (MDMCD) trapped, morphologically identified, and sorted adult female mosquitoes by location into pools of 2-25 mosquitoes of the same species.
    Randomizationnot detected.
    Blindingnot detected.
    Power Analysisnot detected.

    SentencesResources
    Mapping mosquito samples: To understand the spatial distribution of mosquito pools collected for this effort, we developed maps using ArcMap (v 10.6) at the zip code level, which is the smallest level of resolution obtainable with our datasets.

    suggested: None

    Results from OddPub: We did not detect open data. We also did not detect open code. Researchers are encouraged to share open data when possible (see Nature blog).


    Results from LimitationRecognizer: An explicit section about the limitations of the techniques employed in this study was not found. We encourage authors to address study limitations.

    Results from TrialIdentifier: No clinical trial numbers were referenced.


    Results from Barzooka: We did not find any issues relating to the usage of bar graphs.


    Results from JetFighter: We did not find any issues relating to colormaps.


    Results from rtransparent:

    About SciScore

    SciScore is an automated tool that is designed to assist expert reviewers by finding and presenting formulaic information scattered throughout a paper in a standard, easy to digest format. SciScore checks for the presence and correctness of RRIDs (research resource identifiers), and for rigor criteria such as sex and investigator blinding. For details on the theoretical underpinning of rigor criteria and the tools shown here, including references cited, please follow this link.
