Vector control and drug therapies are most effective when used in tandem. Proportions of humans (h) and vectors (v) infected are plotted under four control scenarios. a no control, \(w=0\), \(u=0\); b only artemisinin treatment, \(w=0.05\) (\(5\%\) drug coverage), \(u=0\); c only vector control, \(w=0\), \(u=0.2\) (releasing modified males at a rate of \(20\%\) of the wild male populations per day); d both artemisinin treatment and vector control, \(w=0.05\), \(u=0.2\). The total number of infected mosquitoes at time \(t=90\) days for each scenario is a 6125 b 1145 c 238 d 55; the vector control suppresses the vector population significantly. Early-acting SIT is assumed
