Effects of vector biology and host behaviour on R0. (a) Vector biting rate, a. (b) The rate of vector mortality μ (the curve is identical for host mortality α1 and recovery, ρ1). (c) Conversion rate of susceptible to infected hosts, b1 (vector conversion rate, c and the number of vectors in patch i, Mi produce the same linear relationship). (d) The movement coefficient parameter, mS, behaves differently between one-way and bidirectional movement. (e) and (f) explore the impact of different patch population sizes in i and j, Ni and Nj, respectively.
