compute_f.BQ

Blood feeding rates are modeled as a Holling type 2 (rational) function of blood host availability.
$$f(B) = f_x \frac{s_f B}{1+s_f B}$$
Here $f_x$ is the maximum blood feeding rate and $s_f$ is a scaling parameter.

Provides a framework based on S3 dispatch for constructing models
of mosquito-borne pathogen transmission which are constructed from submodels of various
components (i.e. immature and adult mosquitoes, human populations). A consistent mathematical
expression for the distribution of bites on hosts means that different models
(stochastic, deterministic, etc.) can be coherently incorporated and updated
over a discrete time step.
