With these three equations in mind, there is something that most obviously stands out; the importance of $a$, the mosquito biting rate. This is particularly important in the 'behavior' equation, as this factor is squared. This means that $R_0$ is very dependent upon the biting rate.  \\Unfortunately, there is no readily available graphing algorithm for this precise model. Even if such a model were available, it would be extremely difficult to estimate values for required parameters, and impossible for parameters such as the average number of bites each mosquito will perform.
