Compute mosquito feeding rate for BQ model (\(f\))

Blood feeding rates are modeled as a Holling type 2 (rational) function of blood host availability. $$f(B) = f_x \frac{s_f B}{1+s_f B}$$ Here \(f_x\) is the maximum blood feeding rate and \(s_f\) is a scaling parameter.

Usage

# S3 method for BQ
compute_f(model, B)

Arguments

model

an object from make_MicroMoB

B

a vector of length p giving total blood host availability by patch

Value

a vector of length p giving the per-capita blood feeding rate of mosquitoes in each blood feeding haunt
