| Popis: | We added a vector control component to our existing abundance model to simulate intensive vector control in Puerto Rico. Removing 20–30% of gravid females in the model matches observed 60–80% reductions. The model’s capacity to reproduce vector control increases its utility for planning and evaluation strategies. |
