Basic Properties and Qualitative Dynamics of a Vector-Borne Disease Model with Vector Stages and Vertical Transmission

Figure 1

Relationships among epidemic thresholds with respect to vertical transmission and ratio of mosquitoes to hosts. (a) The relationship between number of new infections in hosts and number of new infections in vectors. (b) Comparison between basic reproductive numbers and derived from two different methods with respect to vertical infection. (c) Comparison of behaviours among the complete transmission cycle and host type and vector type reproductive numbers with respect to vertical transmission efficiency away from the common epidemic criterion. (d) How the ratio of mosquitoes to hosts and vertical infection contribute to patterns of . Dashed lines indicated contours lines for while continuous lines are for .
