Sensitivity analysis of the cumulative number of infected hosts. The cumulative numbers of infected hosts after 90 days are plotted. a Plotted 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 after 7 days, 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 Plotted as the function of the implementation period of Measure 2 (insecticide application). During the insecticide application, the vector excess mortality rates are \(\mu _{\mathrm {m}}^{\text {ex}}=1.0\) and 0.5 for the red and green curves, respectively. c Plotted as the function of the quarantine proportion q, which is relevant to Measure 5 (isolation)
