Fig 3. R0 changes with the increase of initial number of mosquitoes per person.

Fig 3

R0 increases when few mosquitoes bite a person, and eventually decreases when there are many more mosquitoes than humans, ρvh > 40. In all cases, R0 for infection transmitted by Wolbachia-free mosquitoes is the largest, followed by R0 for infection transmitted by wAlbB-infected mosquitoes, and R0 for infection transmitted by wMel-infected mosquitoes is the smallest. (a) R0 for DENV transmitted by Ae. aegypti mosquitoes. (b) R0 for DENV transmitted by Ae. albopitus mosquitoes. (c) R0 for CHIKV transmitted by Ae. aegypti mosquitoes. (d) R0 for CHIKV transmitted by Ae. albopictus mosquitoes. (e) R0 for ZIKV transmitted by Ae. aegypti mosquitoes. (f) R0 for ZIKV transmitted by Ae. albopictus mosquitoes.
