Given a function describing the FoI (hτ(a)), and a parameter describing the clearance rate of infections (r), the density of parasite clones of age α distributed among a cohort of humans of age a is zτ(α,a)=erαhτ(aα)

zda(alpha, a, FoIpar, tau = 0, hhat = 1, r = 1/200)

Arguments

alpha

the age of an infection, α

a

host age

FoIpar

a compound list to compute hτ(a)

tau

the host cohort's birthday

hhat

scaling parameter for FoI

r

the clearance rate for a simple infection

Value

a numeric vector of length(alpha)
