Increasing the initial insect release ratio has diminishing returns on the effect on disease prevalence. Example solutions from the default epidemiological parameter set of Fig. 6a when \(C_u\) is varied through square root, linear and quadratic. a Shows the optimal vector release strategy, b shows the resulting suppression of disease in the host population. Late-acting SIT is used. Other parameters as in Table 1
