The variable \(Y\) is the density of infected mosquitoes. The model blood feeding parameters are:

  • \(f\) is the overall blood feeding rate

  • \(q\) is the human fraction for blood feeding

  • \(\Omega\) is the demographic matrix

  • \(\tau\) is the EIP

The net blood feeding rate by infectious mosquitoes is computed by accounting for survival and dispersal that would occur in a delay differential equation: $$\Upsilon = e^{-\Omega \tau}$$ so $$fqZ = fq (\Upsilon \cdot Y)$$ The daily EIR for the population strata is \(\beta \cdot fqZ\)
