Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
In this paper, we propose a time-delayed model of West Nile virus with periodic extrinsic incubation period (EIP) and mosquito demographics including stage-structure, pair formation and intraspecific competition. We define two quantities R and Rmax for mosquito population and the basic reproduction number R0 for our model. It is shown that the threshold dynamics are determined by these three parameters: (i) if Rmax ≤ 1, the mosquito population will not survive; (ii) if R > 1 and R0 < 1, then WNv disease will go extinct; (iii) if R > 1 and R0 > 1, then the disease will persist. Numerically, we simulate the long-term behaviors of solutions and reveal the influences of key model parameters on the disease transmission. A new finding is that R0 is non-monotone with respect to the fraction of the aquatic mosquitoes maturing into adult male mosquitoes, which can help us implement more effective control strategies. Besides we observe that using the time-averaged EIP has the possibility of underestimating the infection risk.
