infect_fun

Probability that a feeding tick becomes engorged infected or uninfected

Code to specify, run, and then visualize and analyze the results of
Ixodidae (hard-bodied ticks) population and infection dynamics models. Such
models exist in the literature, but the source code to run them is not
always available. 'IxPopDyMod' provides an easy way for these models to be
written and shared.

infect_fun function

<dl><dt>x</dt>
<dd>Predictor 1 in transitions table. Numeric vector indicating host
density for each of the host species. Length should be equal to the number
of host species.</dd>
<dt>from_infected</dt>
<dd>Parameter <code>from_infected</code> in parameters table. Value
should be 1 if transition is from an infected tick stage, 0 otherwise.</dd>
<dt>to_infected</dt>
<dd>Parameter <code>to_infected</code> in parameters table. Value should
be 1 if transition is to an infected tick stage, 0 otherwise.</dd>
<dt>host_rc</dt>
<dd>Parameters named <code>host_rc</code> in parameters table. Numeric vector
of length equal to the number of host species. Values are the host reservoir
competence for each host species.</dd>
<dt>pref</dt>
<dd>Parameters named <code>pref</code> in parameters table. Numeric vector of
length equal to the number of host species. Values are the preference for
ticks in a given transition for each host species.</dd></dl>
