Simulation modelling of population dynamics of mosquito vectors for rift valley Fever virus in a disease epidemic setting.

BACKGROUND:Rift Valley Fever (RVF) is weather dependent arboviral infection of livestock and humans. Population dynamics of mosquito vectors is associated with disease epidemics. In our study, we use daily temperature and rainfall as model inputs to simulate dynamics of mosquito vectors population i...
