14.5 Spatial Dynamics
14.5.1 Human Migration, Mobility & Travel
The notion of a spatially distributed risk for humans and the modalities of human travel.
Humans move around, so we develop a model of time spent. Time spent is sub-divided into three parts:
time spent at home;
time spent traveling, when a night is spent away from home;
human mobility, which describes time spent around home when not traveling.
For travel, we estimate a travel FoI.
For time at home and mobility, after weighing time spent and mosquito diurnal activity patterns by time of day, we modify time spent to get a notion of time at risk
After modifying time at risk by search weights, mosquito blood meals are distributed among all hosts according to their availability.
