Temperature modulates dengue virus epidemic growth rates through its effects on reproduction numbers and generation intervals
Fig 5
DENV epidemic growth rate, r, for high (red) and low (blue) mosquito densities based on our full model and other approximations.
The top panels show comparisons of the full model estimates (solid lines) with those based on temperature independent, exponentially distributed (A) and fixed-length (B) generation intervals (mean = 16 days [34]) (dashed lines). The bottom panels show comparisons of estimates of the full model (solid lines) with those based on exponentially distributed (C) and fixed-length (D) generation intervals (dashed lines), with their mean values at each temperature set to the corresponding mean from the full model.
