The SIR module for the XH component

Source: R/host-xde-SIR.R

Implements the XH component using a Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) compartmental model of human infection dynamics.

State Variables

H

total human (or host) population density

I

density of infectious humans

R

density of recovered humans

Note: susceptible density \(S = H - I - R\).

Parameters

b

transmission probability from mosquito to human

c

transmission probability from human to mosquito

r

clearance rate for infections

B

time-dependent birth rate function \(B(t, H)\)

D

linear operator (matrix) for mortality, migration, aging, and transfers

Dynamics

$$ \begin{array}{rl} dH/dt &= B(t,H) + D \cdot H \\ dI/dt &= hS - rI + D \cdot I \\ dR/dt &= rI + D \cdot R \\ \end{array}$$ where \(h\) is the force of infection and \(S = H - I - R\).
