Implements the XH component using a continuous-time version of the Garki model of malaria infection dynamics Dietz K, Molineaux L, Thomas A (1974). “A malaria model tested in the African savannah.” Bull World Health Organ, 50(3-4), 347–357. . The model tracks multiple stages of infection and immunity, originally designed to capture the dynamics of P. falciparum malaria in the Garki district of Nigeria.

State Variables

H

total human (or host) population density

x1

density of susceptible non-immune humans

x2

density of newly infected humans

y1

density of individuals with patent infections (stage 1)

y2

density of individuals with patent infections (stage 2)

y3

density of individuals with patent infections (stage 3, semi-immune)

x3

density of non-immune individuals who cleared infection

x4

density of semi-immune susceptibles

Parameters

r1, r2

recovery rates for the two classes of infected individuals

alpha1, alpha2

progression rates between patent infection stages

nu

rate of progression from newly infected to patent infection

b

transmission probability from mosquito to human

c

transmission probability from human to mosquito
