Table 3 Sensitivity analysis of the model. Data from the traps presented in Figure 5 are used in these analyses. For the starting condition: a. 7°C for 3 day average, b. 6°C for 3 days, c. 8°C for 3 days and d. 7°C for 2 days. For daily egg mortality (T indicates the mean temperature (°C)): 1. 0.2%/day (5≤T≤30), (0.02(5-T)+0.2)% (T<5), (0.02(T-30)+0.2)% (T >30), 2. 0.2%/day (5≤T≤20), (0.02(5-T)+0.2)% (T<5), (0.02(T-20)+0.2)% (T>20), 3. 0.2%/day (15≤T0≤3), (0.02(15-T)+0.2)% (T<5), (0.02(T-30)+0.2)% (T>30). Totals A, B, C are the annual total mosquito abundance calculated by using an adult daily mortality of: (0.24(T-25)2+5)% for TotalA (this is used in this study), (0.24(T-24)2+5)% for TotalB, (0.24(T-26)2+5)% for TotalC.
