Figure 2

Fuzzy distribution model. Illustration of the fuzzy function with regard to the influence of the 10-day accumulated rainfall (RΣ10d) on the number of oviposited eggs per female mosquito (#E o ) as well as the daily immature mosquito survival probability (η d ). The green vertical line at 10 mm (= S) depicts the most suitable rainfall conditions and separates different scales of the abscissa. Pink and blue lines depict two different settings of the fuzzy distribution model. According to these adjustments rainfall condition are unsuitable for RΣ10dvalues of 0 mm (= U1) and above of 500 or 1000 mm (= U2), respectively.
