Reproductive phase locking of mosquito populations in response to rainfall frequency

Creator:

Shaman, Jeffrey and Day, Jonathan F.

Abstract:

The frequency of moderate to heavy rainfall events is projected to change in response to global warming. Here we show that these hydrologic changes may have a profound effect on mosquito population dynamics and rates of mosquito-borne disease transmission. We develop a simple model, which treats the mosquito reproductive cycle...
