Sensitivity analysis of the basic reproduction number R 0. a R 0 as the function of the ratio of each parameter to each value of the base case. The parameters are the host mobility rates w HL and w LH, which are relevant to Measure 1 (restricted movement), for the red curve, the biting rate a, which is relevant to Measure 3 (use of repellents), for the green one, and the numbers of vectors per host r H and r L, which are relevant to Measure 4 (vector control), for the blue one. b R 0 as the function of the vector mortality rate μ m, which is relevant to Measure 2 (insecticide application). c R 0 as the function of the quarantine proportion q, which is relevant to Measure 5 (isolation)
