Figure 4.
Effect on the basic reproduction number, R0, of temperature and parameters that are sensitive to control measures for the model without seasonal temperature variability: (a) the mosquito biting rate, bv; (b) the human recovery rate, γh; (c) the probability of transmission from the mosquito to the human, βvh; (d) the probability of transmission from the human to the mosquito, βhv; (e) the mosquito carrying capacity, κv; and (f) the mosquito mortality rate, μv. (Vaccination δh and the egg-to-adult mosquito survival probability, νv, do not appear explicitly in the R0 model.) The effect of these parameters on R0 is more dependent on temperature than their effects on the final epidemic size (e.g. the colour bands are less vertical and more diagonal in parts of the parameter space).
