Function which takes input infection and demographic information and estimates relative infection between adults and children assuming equilibrium differences in worm burden are a result of this parameter. Then estimates peak miracidial invasion rate from a resulting estimate of the equilibrium miracidial density as a function of worm burden, contamination coefficients and other parameters

1 2	eq_Ws_get_Omega_Lambda0(W_A, kap_A, H_A, W_C, kap_C, H_C, K_ratio = 1, I_P, pars)

`W_A`	equilibrium mean worm burden in adult population, can be estimated from egg burden and prevalence using 'convert_burden_egg_to_worm'
`kap_A`	equilibrium clumping parameter in adult population, can be estimated from egg burden and prevalence using 'convert_burden_egg_to_worm'
`H_A`	adult human population size
`W_C`	equilibrium mean worm burden in child population, can be estimated from egg burden and prevalence using 'convert_burden_egg_to_worm'
`kap_C`	equilibrium clumping parameter in child population, can be estimated from egg burden and prevalence using 'convert_burden_egg_to_worm'
`H_C`	child human population size
`K_ratio`	ratio of snail carrying capacity to human population size. defaults to 1, but should be increased for environments/communities that have particularly intense snail habitat or tranmission
`I_P`	infected snail prevalence, observed or input
`pars`	additional model parameters
