Table 2. Comparison of the reproduction numbers derived from a system of ordinary differential equations and the individual-based model under the assumption of constant versus age-dependent mortality rates.
Model | Vector death rate | Life expectancy | Infectious period | R0 |
---|---|---|---|---|
ODE | Constant | 21 days | 21 days | 7.5 |
IBM | Constant | 21 days | 21 days | 7.2 |
IBM | Age-dependent | 21 days | 11 days | 3.2 |
