The influence of individual characteristics of vector-control on the overall effectiveness. We modified five different attributes of vector control to assess the impact of each attribute on overall effectiveness (% reduction in pupae at municipality level), while leaving all other parameters constant, for the city of Santa Marta. The green line demarks the default parameter values, the gray lines indicate the effect on effectiveness for individual simulations, and the black line represent a smoothed curve of individual runs. (A) Effectiveness by participation rate (proportion of households participating in vector control); (B) by efficacy; (C) by recruitment rate (% new neighborhoods starting vector control per day); (D) by duration of the intervention; and (E) by initiation thresholds (IR) at which vector control started.
