In ramp.xds exposure to infective bites is handled in several steps:

  1. The number of infective bites, per patch, is computed by a function F_fqZ.

  2. These bites are allocated to the local human population strata and to visitors according to their availability, which returns the daily EIR as a vector. Whereas F_fqz is a vector of length npn_p or nPatches, the EIR is a vector of length nhn_h or nStrata.

  3. Total exposure is transformed into a measure of the local FoI or AR under a model of environmental heterogeneity.

  4. A separate model estimates the travel FoI or AR.

  5. The total FoI is the sum of expected time spent traveling.
