Fig. 2
Graphical representation of the local population model. Boxes represent the human population, circles represent the mosquito population. At each neighborhood the human population is divided into (S) susceptible, (E) exposed, (IA) asymptomatic infected, (IS) symptomatic infected, and (R) recovered individuals. Similarly, the mosquito population are divided into immature stages, (G) eggs, (L) aquatic and (D) for eggs undergoing diapause, and (AS) susceptible, (AE) exposed and (AI) infective mature mosquitoes. Solid arrows represent transitions between these classes. Local population models for each neighborhood are linked by human commuting movement and mosquito migration patterns. Double arrowed dashed lines indicate the classes affected by movements of individual from and to analogous classes in other neighborhoods. Dotted lines describe disease transmission. Climate affects all the transitions in the mosquito populations. Habitat availability affects the coefficient of the density dependent term for immature stages of the mosquito populations.
