Figure 3

Contribution of each Culex pipiens biotype to scenarios for West Nile virus transmission in Europe. The six plots show the results for low or high fractions of birds in the host population (FB = 0.2 and FB = 0.8, respectively) and one of the three different mosquito population compositions (molestus dominated, equal fractions, or pipiens dominated). Each plot shows the contribution of biotype pipiens, biotype molestus or hybrids to the R 0 values for three temperature scenarios (T = 18 °C, 23 °C, and 28 °C) and three different mosquito-to-host ratios (C = 10, 100, or 250). Values of R 0 above one indicate that there is a chance of West Nile virus establishment.
