Table 5 Contact parameters between non-immune, semi-immune and mosquito
Parameters | Biological description |
|---|---|
\(n_{a}\) | average number of bites per mosquito per unit of time |
\(c_{me}\) | probability that an infectious mosquito bite on a susceptible non-immune transfers the infection to the non-immune |
\(c_{ma}\) | probability that an infectious mosquito bite on a susceptible semi-immune transfers the infection to the semi-immune |
\(c_{em}\) | probability that a bite from a susceptible mosquito on an infectious non-immune transfers the infection to the mosquito |
\(c_{am}\) | probability that a bite from a susceptible mosquito on an infectious semi-immune transfers the infection to the mosquito |
\(\tilde{c}_{am}\) | probability that a bite from a susceptible mosquito on an infectious immune transfers the infection to the mosquito |
