Figure 1.

The effect of temperature and DTR on the vector parameters and relative vectorial capacity ().

Top row: n, , and ; bottom row: , , and . Average daily temperature (the horizontal axis) and DTR (the vertical axis) both have units of °C. The color bar on the right side of each graph describes the value of the parameter. A higher corresponds to a greater dengue epidemic potential.
