Fig 2. The total number of infectious humans produced by infectious Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus for the baseline parameters in Table 2.

The model predicts that the wMel-infected mosquitoes are more effective than wAlbB-infected mosquitoes in reducing the number of people infectious with the diseases. We find that for the same mosquito densities, Ae. aegypti is more effective than Ae. albopictus in transmitting DENV and ZIKV, while the opposite is true for CHIKV. (a) DENV infection transmitted by Ae. aegypti. (b) DENV infection transmitted by Ae. albopictus. (c) CHIKV infection transmitted by Ae. aegypti. (d) CHIKV infection transmitted by Ae. albopictus. (e) ZIKV infection transmitted by Ae. aegypti. (f) ZIKV infection transmitted by Ae. albopictus.
