Synopsis

Excerpt from Deterministic Model for Simulating the Predation of Toxorhynchites Rutilus Rutilus on Aedes Aegypti

While many of the parameter values for Tx. R. Rutilus are from laboratory experiments con ducted under conditions obviously different from those expected in the field, there remains a veryreal value in the model-building exercise. Char acterizing the interaction of the two species highlights areas where additional information is needed. Also, simulating with the present model gives us insight into how best to approach a large-scale release experiment where prey control is to be attempted. Finally, the preliminary model gives us a framework within which to in terpret the resulting experimental field data. The model is written in fortran; the program listing is given in the appendix.
