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

Figure 2

The left figure (a) explores effects of vertical transmission on the prevalence of the disease on hosts, where () is plotted at max() for every . The right figure (b) explores how the first peak of an epidemic (max()) varies with vertical transmission efficiency (). The lower figures represent the dynamics of at time position (78) corresponding to day 27 (figure c) and at time position (150) corresponding to day 50 (figure d) for different values of vertical infection.
