Table 1 Formulas for the probability of an infected midge (vector) surviving to become infectious, arising in \(R_0\) formulas from different models, and the parameters involved
From: Predicting temperature-dependent transmission suitability of bluetongue virus in livestock
Formula | Traits used |
|---|---|
\(f_1=e^{-\mu \; \nu }\) [Dietz 1993] | \(\mu :\) adult mortality rate |
\(f_2=\dfrac{\nu }{\nu +\mu }\) [Gubbins et. al. 2008 ] | \(\nu :\) pathogen development rate |
\(f_3=\left( \dfrac{3 \nu }{ 3 \nu +\mu }\right) ^3\) | Â |
