Figure 8.
Effect of timing of start of interventions on dengue epidemic outbreaks. Stochastic dengue epidemics were generated according to the epidemiology of dengue (Table 1, basic reproduction number, ℛ0 = 24), the population size of Easter Island, control interventions with 80% intensity and varying the start of interventions from 10 to 60 days after epidemic onset. Stochastic epidemic realizations are shown in blue. The red solid curve corresponds to the mean of stochastic realizations.
