    Snippet: We have assumed that the time varying transmission rate of ZIKV is a function of environmental and vector suitability that has not been reduced by effective vector control. The impact of vector control has been largely unassessed, or where it has been assessed it has been found to be ineffective. 48,49 Consequently, our findings are likely to be unaffected by the impact of vector control.

    Document: We have assumed that the time varying transmission rate of ZIKV is a function of environmental and vector suitability that has not been reduced by effective vector control. The impact of vector control has been largely unassessed, or where it has been assessed it has been found to be ineffective. 48,49 Consequently, our findings are likely to be unaffected by the impact of vector control. Should effective wide-scale interventions be developed, the model can be used to assess the impact of proposed interventions. The mathematical model was deterministic in nature, and especially for projections may under-estimate the variability in the number of cases.
