Abstract

Abstract : In this work, the linear feedback limited control strategy is proposed to indicate how the Wolbachia ‐infected mosquitoes should be introduced in the seasonal environment to reduce the non‐ Wolbachia mosquito population. The numerical simulations show that the proposed strategy reduces the population level of non‐ Wolbachia mosquitos, avoiding mosquito spread and, consequently, reducing the number of cases of vector‐borne diseases.
