Implements the XH component using a Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible
(SIS) compartmental model of human infection dynamics.
State Variables
H
total human (or host) population density
I
density of infected humans
Note: susceptible density \(S = H - I\).
Parameters
r
clearance rate for infections
xi
mass treatment rate (\(\xi(t)\))
B
time-dependent birth rate function \(B(t, H)\)
D
linear operator (matrix) for mortality, migration, aging, and transfers
Dynamics
$$
\begin{array}{rl}
dH/dt &= B(t,H) + D \cdot H \\
dI/dt &= h(H-I) - rI - \xi(t) + D \cdot I \\
\end{array}$$
where \(h\) is the force of infection computed upstream.
