A discrete-time mathematical model of stage-structured mosquito populations

Abstract This paper proposes a system of difference equations to model mosquito population. In this study, we develop and analyze the stage-structured models which consist of four distinct mosquito metamorphic stages: eggs, larvae, pupae, and adults. First, a model with constant birth rate is studie...
