Simulated spatial region and seasonality. A Spatial region and grid composed of 150 1 km-by-1 km nodes used for all simulations. Colors denote the human population within each node. In all simulation, 100 male gene drive mosquitoes were released in each of the six most populous nodes (outlined in red), which account for ~ 23% of the human population in the region. B Baseline seasonal cycle of adult vector populations within the simulated area before gene drive releases in the three low (annual EIR = 10 infectious bites per person), moderate (annual EIR = 30 infectious bites per person), and high (annual EIR = 80 infectious bites per person) Sahelian transmission regimes simulated here. Gene drive mosquitoes were released on July 1 of the first simulation year in all simulations. ITNS were also deployed on July 1 of the first, fourth, and seventh simulation years in simulations with ITNs
