Figure 1

Model schematic of Mosquito-Wolbachia dynamics between uninfected mosquitoes u and Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes with strains \(\mathbf {w_1}\) (wAu-like) and \(\mathbf {w_2}\) (wMel-like). The green, red, and blue represent the uninfected, wAu-Wolbachia-infected and wMel-Wolbachia infected mosquito populations respectively. The lines (solid and dashed) represent the population progression where the dashed lines indicate the imperfect maternal transmission (IMT). The black arrows represent deaths. The cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) induction which inhibits the production of offspring has been adjusted where required. \(A\longrightarrow\) Aquatic (eggs, larvae and pupae) mosquitoes and \(F\longrightarrow\) Adult mosquitoes.
