Parasite dispersal by mosquitoes

Description

Compute the p by p matrix \mathcal{V} whose columns describe how infective bites arising from all the mosquitoes biting a single human on a single day are dispersed to other patches, accounting for movement and mortality.

\mathcal{V} = fq\Omega^{-1} \cdot e^{-\Omega\tau} \cdot \mbox{diag}\left(\frac{fqM}{W}\right)

Usage

metric_calV(f, q, Omega, tau, M, W)

Arguments

f

the feeding rate

q

fraction of bloodmeals taken on humans

Omega

the mosquito demography matrix

tau

duration of the extrinsic incubation period

M

size of mosquito population in each patch

W

ambient human population at each patch

Value

a numeric matrix
