calcLambda_MicroEL4P: Calculate Lambda for EL4P Aquatic Ecology Module

Description Usage Arguments Value

Description

Calculate parameter lambda (daily adult female emergence over entire landscape) required to sustain Plasmodium falciparum transmission at given value of R0 based on classical Ross-MacDonald assumptions. This is used in EL4P fitting routines and called in EL4P.Parameters such that mean emergence over the landscape will be fitted to this equilibrium value.

b

mosquito to human transmission efficiency

c

human to mosquito transmission efficiency

r

rate of recovery in humans (1/average length of infection)
