From: Genetic control of Aedes aegypti: data-driven modelling to assess the effect of releasing different life stages and the potential for long-term suppression

Figure 4

Examples of control with frequent and infrequent releases. Ae. aegypti population dynamics in the absence of control (dotted line) and under adult-only, pupal-only and combined RIDL release regimes (pink, blue and green lines respectively). With A) frequent releases (time between releases = 1 day) adult-only releases achieve the best levels of population suppression. With B) infrequent releases (time between releases = 7 days) wild population recovery between releases can be observed and is most apparent with adult-only releases which are outperformed by combined and pupal-only releases. All parameter values as default, w = 2 days-1.
