Repeat of model by Deredec et al. [20] using parameters estimated by our analysis, Rm was derived both analytically and numerically for all density and egg-laying scenarios. The model estimates the number of HEGs needed in relation to their homing rate (a measure of efficacy) for successful elimination of a mosquito population. The bold centre line is the parameter estimates from the median of the posterior; the shaded bands represent the 95% credible intervals
