Quiescence and its Effects in the Aedes aegypti Population
Resumo
Due to the capacity of several species of mosquitoes to carry vector-borne diseases, several models, including those composed of systems of differential equations, have been developed to describe its population dynamics [1, 4]. It is known that in the presence of adverse weather conditions, Aedes aegypti mosquitoes employ a survival strategy called quiescence, in which, once their eggs dry up, development stops to maintain viability for periods lasting up to several months [2]. Although quiescence allows a prolonged likelihood of survival for mosquito eggs, quiescence can also negatively affect mosquito development [3]. In this work, we incorporate the effects of quiescence into a population model. The proposed model, covers female mosquito populations. This model is divided into four phases of mosquito development: Eggs (E), Larvae (L), Pupae (P), and Mature adults (M) [...]
