Description Usage Arguments Value
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.
