We compute sensitivity indices of R(0) and a reactivity index (that measures epidemicity) [...] epidemicity) to parameters for baseline wet and dry season values. R(0) is most sensitive to the mosquito biting and death rates. The reactivity index is most sensitive to the mosquito biting rate and the infectivity
