TL;DR
The persistence and severity of epidemics can be assessed by the basic reproduction number R0, which varies with temperature, and the expression for R0 obtained from ‘true’ and ‘pseudo’ mass action laws for dengue infection is discussed.
Abstract
The incidence of dengue infection, a vector-borne disease transmitted by the mosquito Aedes aegypti, shows clear dependence on seasonal variation. Based on the quantification method that furnishes the size of the A. aegypti population in terms of the estimated entomological parameters for different temperatures, we assessed the risk of dengue outbreaks. The persistence and severity of epidemics can be assessed by the basic reproduction number R(0), which varies with temperature. The expression for R(0) obtained from 'true' and 'pseudo' mass action laws for dengue infection is discussed.

In both species, body size generally decreased as temperature increased, and survival from eclosion to adult emergence was highest in the range from 20 to 30 degrees C and dropped drastically at 15 (38%) and 34 degrees C.

A SEIR model for the transmission of an infectious disease that spreads in a population through direct contact of the hosts is studied and a unique endemic equilibrium state is shown to be globally asymptotically stable in the interior of the feasible region.

By obtaining the mortality, transition and oviposition rates for different stages of the life-cycle of the mosquito, the basic offspring number Q0 is calculated, which is the capacity of vector reproduction and ultimately gives the size of the vector population.

It is argued that the existence of competitive exclusion in this system is product of the interplay between the host superinfection process and frequency-dependent (vector to host) contact rates.

The model indicates that ULV has little impact on disease incidence, even when multiple applications are made, although the peak of the epidemic may be delayed, and decreasing the carrying capacity of the environment for mosquitoes, is more effective in reducing transmission.
Annals of Tropical Medicine and ParasitologyClimate change and malaria transmission

There is a need for researchers to validate the accuracy of the models used for predicting malaria and to confirm the assumptions on which the models are based, since small increases in temperature at low temperatures may increase the risk of transmission substantially.

A mathematical model to study the spatial dissemination of dengue using a system of partial differential reaction-diffusion equations is proposed and a threshold value as a function of the model's parameters is obtained, which determines the rate ofdengue dissemination and the risk of d Dengue outbreaks.
