Scenarios considered for modelling mosquito populations.
| Scenario | Release Intensity 1/Overflooding
Ratio 2 |
FRER 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Units | ’0,000 | |
| Baseline (S1) | – | – |
| Suppression Approach (S2) | 1 | 10−3, 10−9 |
| SIT-IIT Female (S3A) | 4, 6, 8 | |
| SIT-IIT Male + Female (S3B) | 4, 6, 8 | 10−3, 10−9, 0 |
| Second Strain Introduction (S4) | 4, 6, 8 | 10−3, 10−9, 0 |
1 Denotes the number of Wolbachia mosquitoes released per week. We focused on the simulations for S3A, S3B and. S4 under the release of 60,000 male mosquitoes per week unless specified otherwise. 2 Denotes the ratio of male Wolbachia mosquitoes released in relation to the initial wild type male population. 3 FRER denotes the female release error rates, i.e., the proportion of Wolbachia females released in comparison to the number of male Wolbachia mosquitoes released under the suppression strategy.
