A mathematical model to assess the effect of the constant release policy on population suppression

Abstract

In this paper, we developed a mathematical model to assess the effect of the constant release policy on population suppression. We found a threshold value of the number of infected males released to guarantee the successful population suppression, above which the wild mosquito population will be eradicated, and below which the wild population will outcompete the released males.
