The Extinction of Dengue through Natural Vulnerability of Its Vectors
Figure 1
Aedes aegypti persistence and performance at localities throughout the historic (faint grey circles) and current range (indicated by dashed line) in Australia.
Size of yellow circles indicates mean egg abundance per ha. for simulated localities. ‘Extinction yes/no’ refers to whether or not extinction was detected during simulations (not tested for all localities). ‘Eggs only’ refers to time of year when Ae. aegypti reduced to eggs as only life-stage present. NA = not applicable.
