Global Asymptotic Stability in the Jia Li Model for Genetically Altered mosquitoes

Abstract

Malaria remains a major killer with more than 1 million deaths each year in sub-Saharan Africa alone while yellow fever, dengue fever, West Nile virus, encephalitis and filariasis continue to have an impact on populations worldwide. The Anopheles strains of mosquitoes are largely responsible for the transmission of Plasmodium or malaria, the Culex tarsalis accounts largely for West Nile virus, encephalitis and filariasis and the Aedes aegypti is associated with yellow fever and dengue.
