Illustration of setting and deployment specific parameter. A Larviciding coverage, held constant for all deployments. B Deployment frequency during one deployment period of 120 days. The deployment frequency is characterized by the number of deployments per unit of time (rectangles on the right) and characterizes the lengths of gaps in effective coverage between single deployments. The blue lines correspond to the duration of time the larvicide is active, assumed to be 5 days. The emergence rate is unaffected outside of these blue lines. C Transmission seasonality patterns reproduced from [78]. D Seasonal deployment times with larviciding starting at different months (12 independent scenarios) assuming a constant efficacy of 120 days, or 365 days in case of deployment ‘throughout the year’, included for comparison
