Histograms of basic reproduction numbers (R0) for La Crosse virus, based on Latin hypercube sampling analyses with 10,000 randomly selected parameter sets (ranges shown at http://www.clfs.umd.edu/biology/faganlab/disease-ecology.html). A) Tree-hole model, B) tiger model, and C) tree-hole and tiger model. In each panel, the black vertical line at log(R0) = 0 corresponds to the general breakpoint between growing and shrinking infection rates and thus represents the threshold for La Crosse virus di
