An analytically tractable, age-structured model of the impact of vector control on mosquito-transmitted infections
Fig 3
Population age-distribution with disease.
Bar plots showing the age-distribution of a vector population at equilibrium (total count, indexed by number of gonotrophic cycles completed) with a variety of vector control interventions (top row) and combinations (bottom). All interventions are assumed to have 50% coverage. Bars are coloured by the proportion of vectors in each cycle generation that are susceptible (green), exposed (yellow) and infectious (red) for malaria at 40% host prevalence. Vertical lines represent the mean (dashed) and median (dot-dashed) number of gonotrophic cycles a mosquito passes through before dying.
