mbitesBro_oneBout: MBITES-BRO: One Bout 'MicroMosquitoFemale'

In smitdave/MASH: MASH (Modular Analysis and Simulation for Human Health)

Description

Mosquito behavior has a finite set of states (state space of model), within which there are certain biological functions that are always evaluated. A bout is the actions taken by a mosquito between a launch and landing; mbitesBRO_oneBout handles all the biological imperatives that occur during a bout, while specialized bout action methods handle the events that occur due to the purpose of the bout.

• mbitesBRO_boutB: blood feeding bout

• mbitesBRO_boutR: blood feeding bout

• mbitesBRO_boutO: blood feeding bout

Usage

mbitesBRO_oneBout()

Details

The generic bout runs necessary updates of timing, state, survival, energetics, and queue checks prior to calling the nested specific bout action, and checks that the mosquito is alive/active before calling the bout. It updates tNext and stateNew.

This corresponds to the following Gillespie-style algorithm:

1. tNow is set to tNext from previous bout

2. moveMe: movement between point classes (if needed)

3. boutFun: run bout function

4. run energetics and check if alive

5. run landingSpot and check if alive

6. run surviveResting/surviveFlight and check if alive

7. update tNext

8. update state to stateNew which is determined in the bout

• This method is bound to MicroMosquitoFemale$oneBout().
