compute_f.BQ {MicroMoB}

Compute mosquito feeding rate for BQ model (f)

Description

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.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'BQ'
compute_f(model, B)

Arguments

model

an object from make_MicroMoB

B

a vector of length p giving total blood host availability by patch

Value

a vector of length p giving the per-capita blood feeding rate of mosquitoes in each blood feeding haunt
