Configuration for Ixodes scapularis population dynamics model from Ogden et al. 2005

Description

This model configuration recreates the Ixodes scapularis (blacklegged tick) population dynamics model from Ogden et al. 2005. This is a relatively complete model of tick population dynamics, including the effects of both temperature and the host community on tick life-stage transitions. We include this configuration to show that our package can be used to recreate existing models.

Usage

ogden2005

Format

A config

Details

In this config, the population starts with 10000 questing adults. The predictor data includes average temperature for each day, and density of hosts over the model run. Here the host community is stable with 20 deer and 200 mice.
