| ABSTRACT |
We develop a mathematical model that integrates two sub interactions: predator-prey (larvivorous Tx. splendens and larvae Aedes aegypti mosquitoes) and human-adult mosquitoes. We seek to examine the indirect effect of predators via a mosquito since current models of disease dynamics have yet to consider the potential role of predators in regulating mosquito populations (Moore, 2010). Figure shows a schematic diagram of the model.
