Table 7. The coefficient for effectiveness, κ.
This coefficient measures the relative reduction in the total number of humans infected with DENV, ZIKV, or CHIKV transmitted by wMel- and wAlbB-infected mosquitoes, with respect to the number of humans infected with Wolbachia-free mosquitoes, by t = 700. Note that wMel is more effective than wAlbB in each case.
| Wolbachia | Ae. aegypti | Ae. albopictus | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DENV | ZIKV | CHIKV | DENV | ZIKV | CHIKV | |
| wMel | 0.04 | 0.03 | 0.95 | 0.17 | 0.15 | 0.61 |
| wAlbB | 0.01 | 0.01 | 0.65 | 0.04 | 0.03 | 0.18 |
