Modeling Wolbachia Diffusion in Mosquito Populations by Discrete Competition Model

Figure 3

The red solid and the black dotted curves represent the numbers of infected and uninfected mosquitoes in Wolbachia, respectively. The parameter values are . It satisfies the condition of , both and are locally asymptotically stable, and they have their own attractive regions. The solutions with different initial values will approach to different equilibria. The initial value and will lead to the solution approach as , shown in (a) and (b), while the initial value and will lead to the solution approach as , shown in (c) and (d).
