initialise_release: Simulates a release of Wolbachia-carrying mosquitoes....

In beeysian/cairnsmozzie: Agent-based model of Wolbachia release in a nice tidy package

Description

Simulates a release of Wolbachia-carrying mosquitoes. Releases in this experiment are always adults. Much of this is functionally similar to initialise_adults. Since this is a release, some data is made up/dummy: for example, we don't know the ID of the parents. Latitude/Longitude of agents is given by data supplied by the WMP.

Usage

initialise_release(
  noReleased,
  noMale,
  noFemale,
  lat,
  long,
  idStart,
  GID,
  propInfRelease,
  grid.df
)

Arguments

noReleased	The number of initial adult agents.
noMale	Number of males.
noFemale	Number of females.
lat	Latitude of release site.
long	Longitude of release site.
idStart	Index starting for new mosquito ID numbers.
GID	Unique identifier for a release site. From data.

Value

A data.table of N adult agents.

Data.table variables and initialisation

ID:

Unique ID number of agent.

gender:

Male is 0, female is 1. We know proportions of female/males released from data.

mateID:

Unique ID of their mate. Since no initial mosquitoes will have a mate yet, it is initialised as -1. Males will always have mateID as -1 since they can have multiple mates.

enzyme:

Enzyme Kinetic Score. See init for explanation. Initialised uniform randomly.

age:

Age in days. Initialised uniform randomly around what we would expect young adults to be.

gonoCycle:

Gonotrophic cycle. Means something different for males and females. males: number of times they've mated in a day, to be reset daily females: how many times they've laid a clutch of eggs we roughly estimate the gonoCycle of females based on age.

timeDeath:

Timestep they died: initialised as -1 as they are alive.

typeDeath:

Random mortality/trapped death/death due to old age: which type?

whereTrapped:

In the event of trapped death, where did they die? -1 otherwise.

motherID:

Unique ID of mother. -1 since wild release.

fatherID:

Unique ID of father. -1 since wild release.

infStatus:

1 if they carry Wolbachia, 0 if no Wolbachia, -1 for CI. They should mostly be 1 with a few 0 due to incomplete transmission.

lat:

Initial north/south or 'y' coordinate of agent. Should start with -16.

long:

Initial east/west of 'x' coordinate of agent. Should start with 145.
