Parameter | Description | Numerical value |
|---|---|---|
μ | Mortality rate for humans, excluding deaths directly due to malaria | \(\frac {0.017}{365}\) per day |
δ | The rate of human deaths due to malaria | \(\frac {0.042}{180}\) per day |
θ | Mortality rate for (vector) mosquitos | 0.1 per day |
A | Total human birth rate | 105μ |
B | Total birth rate of vector mosquitos | 3θ × 105 |
β | Transmission probability from mosquitoes to humans | 1.5 × 10−7 |
α | Transmission probability from humans to mosquitoes | 7.5 × 10−8 |
k | Recovery rate | \(\frac {1}{180}\) per day |
h | Rate of loss of temporary immunity | \(\frac {1}{2\times 365}\) per day |
