A Note on the Risk of Infections Invading Unaffected Regions

Table 3

Model parameters, their biological meaning, and values for the ZIKV case. The parameter values were taken from [18].

Parameter	Meaning	Value
	A. aegypti biting rate	10.040 month^−1
	Fraction of bites actually infective to humans	0.610
	Human natural mortality rate	0.001 month^−1
	ZIKV mortality rate	negligible
	ZIKV recovery rate	0.080 month^−1
	Latency rate in mosquitoes for ZIKV	0.320 month^−1
	Natural mortality rate of mosquitoes	2.330 month^−1
	A. aegypti susceptibility; to ZIKV	0.530
