    Snippet: In the first part of this study, we investigated the impact of lockdowns on the epidemic trajectory of different mosquito-borne diseases by running simulations on our previously reported agent-based model [9] . We found that there is a consistent rise in the growth rates of these epidemics, in addition to a significant increase in the cumulative number of infected cases in lockdown scenarios.

    Document: In the first part of this study, we investigated the impact of lockdowns on the epidemic trajectory of different mosquito-borne diseases by running simulations on our previously reported agent-based model [9] . We found that there is a consistent rise in the growth rates of these epidemics, in addition to a significant increase in the cumulative number of infected cases in lockdown scenarios. This drastic impact is a direct outcome of the increase in the probability of an infected mosquito biting multiple humans due to increased local population density and reduced human mobility on account of such lockdowns.
