Field trials are currently being undertaken in Queensland, Australia. However, few mathematical models have been developed to consider the persistence of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes in the wild. This paper develops a mathematical model to determine the persistence of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes by considering the competition between Wolbachia-infected and non-Wolbachia mosquitoes. The model has four steady states that are biologically feasible: all mosquitoes dying out, only non-Wolbachia mosquitoes surviving, and two steady states where non-Wolbachia and Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes coexist. The stability of the steady states is determined with respect to the key parameters in the mosquito life cycle. A global sensitivity analysis of the model is also conducted. The results show that the persistence of Wolbachia-infected mosquitoes is dominated by the reproductive rate, death rate, maturation rate and maternal transmission. For the parameter values where Wolbachia persists, it dominates the population, and hence the introduction of Wolbachia has great potential to reduce dengue transmission.]]> Tue 14 Nov 2023 13:41:37 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34850 Tue 02 Jul 2019 12:52:33 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42561 Thu 25 Aug 2022 10:58:16 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34844 Thu 16 May 2019 16:56:51 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54280 Thu 15 Feb 2024 14:46:38 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54647 Thu 07 Mar 2024 15:27:26 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50182 Thu 06 Jul 2023 12:07:25 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19631 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:58:14 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23918 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:10:02 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44338 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:50:58 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50395 Mon 24 Jul 2023 15:08:03 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32483 Mon 23 Sep 2019 10:10:28 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49568 2-polynomial projection of a solution is projected onto a virtual element space.
