From: The dynamics of disease mediated invasions by hosts with immune reproductive tradeoff
Variable | Description |
|---|---|
\(\beta _j\) | Probability of infection when host type j is bitten by an infected vector |
\(\delta _j\) | Probability a vector is infected when biting an infected host of type j. |
\(b_j\) | Bite rate on host type j (number of times bitten per day per mosquito divided among the host population) |
\(\gamma _j\) | Recovery rate for host type j |
\(\mu _{j-}, \mu _{j+}\) | Death rate for uninfected/infected hosts of type j |
\(\alpha _v, \mu _v\) | Birth and death rates for vectors |
